FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RTLS INC GURANTEES VALUE BENEFITS FOR TURNKEY RFID PILOT PROGRAM SANDY, Utah – March 10, 2005 – As part of a continuing program to deliver market-defining RFID services, Real Time Location Systems Incorporated, RTLS INC™, of Sandy, Utah, today announced the release of their RFID Turnkey Pilot™ technology package.  The RFID market is experiencing explosive growth across all industries.  Hundreds of companies are scrambling to comply with a storm of RFID mandates from retail giants and government agencies such as Wal-Mart, TESCO, Department of Defense and Homeland Security. Companies in the throes of implementing RFID projects are struggling to find cost reductions and benefits that will offset the $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 annual expense of compliance.  Adding to this pressure is a real need by corporate officers under the scrutiny of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to justify these costly programs. “We believe passionately that companies must step back from the “slap and ship” mentality of RFID mandate compliance …” and quickly build a strategy based on a ‘how can this benefit us …’ approach, says Evan McCall, CEO of RTLS INC. As a pre packaged tool for fast track deployment of RFID technologies, RFID Turnkey Pilot™ allows companies to rapidly meet compliance requirements.  At the same time, this package uses preconfigured metrics to measure RFID costs and benefits and identify precise steps to mitigate the impacts of compliance and ensure positive returns on investments for this technology. The RFID Turnkey Pilot™ solution is a fixed-fee package that includes: complete deployment and execution of an operating RFID solution, experienced project team resources, RFID tags, equipment, and software, an overall RFID strategy, design of IT architecture and integration roadmaps, and detailed benefit and value metrics based on RFID industry standards and benchmarks.  The typical pilot project runs 9-12 weeks.
