COST‐BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF AN RFID ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM INTRODUCTION This paper outlines the cost‐benefit analysis of using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in an asset‐tracking application. To facilitate the analysis‚ RFID will be compared against the incumbent technology‚ bar‐coding. An experiment comparing these two technologies was conducted‚ and the findings from this experiment are further analysed. Security

Two accounting software programs‚ Sage Peachtree and Microsoft Dynamics‚ were tested under similar conditions for a direct comparison. General information categories were created with more specific segments to pit both of the programs against each other. The reaction to each segment was based on a Liker Scale‚ where each segment was graded 1-5 based on the following criteria: 1-Completely dissatisfied/very difficult 2-Slightly dissatisfied/moderately difficult 3-Neutral 4-Satisified/not difficult
