Sun, SAP align to offer in RFID soln

BANGALORE: The collaboration will enable RFID data network communication between
Sun and SAP RFID technology, allowing for seamless data flow from any RFID-enabled

device to the mySAP Business Suite, besides speeding deployment for customers

looking to integrate RFID data into their back-end systems.






The Sun Java System RFID Software provides centralized monitoring and management
capabilities for large numbers of distributed RFID devices and delivers Jini

technology-based dynamic networking capabilities, which help ensure that RFID

data can continue to be transmitted to the SAP applications under demanding

production environments.

Julie Sarbacker, Director - RFID business unit, Sun Microsystems said,

"Our collaboration with SAP is another step in the right direction on

behalf of our joint customers and will provide additional functionality to help

overcome the increasingly advanced technical hurdles facing our customers as

they implement the RFID deployments of tomorrow."






Sun and SAP have been collaborating on the integration of the Sun Java
Enterprise System with SAP NetWeaver, and Sun also has two technology centers in

Walldorf, Germany that support SAP solution integration.
