The Immediate RFID Business Opportunity

Despite numerous drivers for RFID implementation, most companies do not have the skill set in-house to implement RFID, according to COMPTIA.  Moreover, 66% of the enterprises evaluating RFID prefer to use external resources in implementing RFID solutions.  This results in a shortage of 66,000 RFID-skilled professionals today.  Thus, the system integrator that can quickly develop RFID implementation services stand to profit from the impending opportunities.
