Business Case

BUSINESS CASE
One of Academia RFID Centre of Excellence’s core expert services (and its fastest growing professional service offer) is assisting organizations in the development of their RFID business case. Working closely with the RFID project stakeholders, the Academia RFID consulting team, including in-house business analysts and RFID solution engineers, develop comprehensive needs analysis’s, business process mapping & re-engineering process flows, solution analysis’s and evaluation matrixes, market benchmarking studies and return on investment (ROI) reports.

The importance of justifying the costs/benefits of RFID technology is as important as solving business problems and Academia RFID promises to always present objective recommendations for RFID integration.

Building the RFID Business Case with Academia RFID:

After determining the initial scope of the project; simply put, a RFID business case is built with information from the site survey, data gathered through interviews, metric data, and cost factors received from the customer. After reviewing the Needs Analysis, an extensively documented report is then delivered with solution recommendations on how to optimize business processes given the customer's requirements.



RFID BUSINESS CASE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY

Needs Analysis
Along with the RFID project stakeholders, the Academia RFID team will conduct a needs analysis and assessment of your objectives; followed by a site survey to identify pain points and application opportunities within your existing business processes.

Process Design
Based on the ‘as is’ and to properly design the ‘to be’ operational processes, our RFID engineering team will review the existing business processes to include RFID technology. A case summary will be provided and validated by all parties involved and will serve as the reference document for the solution design.

Market Scan and Solution Evaluation
Our team will conduct an industry scan to identify the appropriate strategic and vertical application solutions available on the market. Upon assessment of the solutions, our technical experts will benchmark the most mature and proven application that best meets the objectives identified in the needs analysis by evaluating the software, hardware and tags/barcodes to properly identify the costs and benefits of each (whether they are scalable, whether they have upgradeable functionalities and whether they are cost efficient).

If the available solutions require adjustments, our Technical Experts and Software Team (TEST) will supervise the specific changes. If the solution does not exist, both TEST and our engineering team will oversee the development of a new and customized solution.

Solution Recommendation and ROI Justification
Based on the market scan and possible RFID solutions, the Academia RFID consulting team will scrutinize, qualify and recommend the appropriate RFID hardware and software suppliers to properly support the integration of your RFID solution and present a return on investment (ROI) report.
