Emerging Agenda 2Q09 Update: The Changing Vendor Landscape in M2M, RFID, and Sensors

This publication has been discontinued on June 28, 2011.

Introduction

Abstract

This Manufacturing Insights report takes a closer look at a specific set of vendors and highlights the expertise they have developed to serve their customers and how they work with other vendors.

"While the vendor market is bringing more sophisticated applications to market — and in an increasingly holistic way — the small company nature of the vendors also suggests that project management in the face of multivendor projects is a critical component to customer satisfaction and project success," states Kimberly Knickle, practice director, Manufacturing Insights.
