Xterprise, a provider in RFID supply chain solutions, announced earlier this week that it has joined the Microsoft camp by choosing Microsoft's process server as its preferred SOA/BPM platform. According to PR News Wire, after participating in the BizTalk 2006 R2 Technology Adoption Program (TAP) over the last year, the company has committed to using the new Microsoft platform because it provides best in class RFID capabilities, simplifies interoperability with existing enterprise systems and is relied upon for mission critical processes in companies around the globe.

"RFID technology enables our suite of supply chain applications and complements and extends our customers' existing ERP applications," said Dean Frew, president and CEO of Xterprise. "We have identified dozens of new application opportunities in the supply chain marketplace, and after investigating all of the available options, we have determined that BizTalk Server 2006 R2 with BizTalk RFID is the best SOA/BPM application platform in the market to exploit these opportunities."

As a result of this deepening relationship between Xterprise and Microsoft, Mr. Frew was invited to address attendees at the Microsoft 2007 Global New Product Summit held today in Taipei. He outlined the Xterprise application strategy and discussed why BizTalk Server 2006 R2 alone is the application platform of choice for his company across all of Xterprise target markets. Mr. Frew also highlighted joint customer successes, where the Xterprise and Microsoft-based solutions are already managing millions of RFID-enabled High Definition Supply Chain™ transactions each month.
