雖然 RFID 技術具有大幅改善商業流程與供給鏈管理的可能性，但是要確實活用這項技術，必須考慮到成本、規格與隱私權等相關問題，並且有需要針對將 RFID 導入至商業上做全面性的評價。此外，資料的整合化也是相當重要的。
專門針對各市場區塊進行調查及分析的英國調查公司 Datamonitor Corporation（總公司: 倫敦），調查與分析 RFID 市場內的 Ascential Software 搭配風潮，並出版綜合報告書 “Beyond the physics of RFID - Ascential Software tackles the data integration problem”。
此報告書使用包括圖表在內的篇幅，除了說明 Ascential Software 在 RFID 市場的定位 、資料整合的必要性；也探討 Ascential 對於資料整合的策略、整合 RFID 的相關 5 種潛在藍圖等 。此報告書的概略架構如下所示。

Overview
Introduction
Datamonitor believes that most organizations are remaining too focused on the
physics of RFID and are not considering the other side of the RFID equation -
integrating the information and data that will pour in from the readers with
enterprise applications and systems. Datamonitor urges users to start thinking
about the data integration aspect of RFID if the true benefits are to be
realized.
Scope
- Standards: The market is in a dilemma - until more companies commit to
RFID, the cost of tags and infrastructure will remain high for deployment.
- Data integration: Companies should start considering now how to reap
benefits well beyond just complying with mandates for the likes of Wal-Mart.
- Vendors: Ascential Software is positioned as one of the leading data
integration vendors, alongside Informatica, and others.
Report Highlights
RFID technology has tremendous potential to change the way business is being
done and the way supply chains are managed. However, to do this correctly,
businesses need to look at the RFID deployment holistically, keeping in mind
issues surrounding cost, standards, and privacy. More importantly, data
integration has to come to the forefront of RFID.
Ascential Software must continue to execute solidly on its product roadmap
and bake in the technology and marketing message that it acquired from Mercator,
in order to maintain its position at the top of the marketplace.
Organizations must not forget the old adage "garbage in = garbage
out" and must tackle data quality and integration problems from the outset,
otherwise RFID initiatives are likely to result in a costly failure.
