Globe Ranger
 Richardson, TX Why It’s Fierce: Thanks to endorsements from Wal-Mart and the U.S.
Department of Defense, RFID has emerged as one of the key trends shaping
both the wireless and enterprise IT markets. While there are plenty of
vendors providing RFID scanners and wireless tags, many large businesses
are grappling with the problem of managing all these devices. Globe Ranger
provides a software middleware solution designed to address the problems
of managing a network of RFID tags and scanners. The company’s solution,
iMotion, allows enterprises to integrate new RFID systems into their
existing supply chain management infrastructure. The company has raised
$22 million to date and has forged key agreements with leading resellers
including the epcSTARS Alliance and Manhattan Associates. Globe Ranger
will be at the forefront of the RFID revolution as the U.S. government,
enterprises, and key vertical markets continue to adopt this technology. What to look for in 2004: Look for Globe Ranger to sign on more reseller partners as well as forge partnerships with leading IT integrators. |
