Data Acquisition

Back in the day, getting the data you needed to run your business wasn’t that hard. Operations were more centralized so data was close by; technology was simpler, so data was easier to access; and mergers were less common, so most data came in a single format.You also didn’t need data quite so quickly, nor did the data need to be quite so precise.The world moved a lot slower and, besides, your competitors couldn’t do any better.Things have changed.
Machines are smarter.Supply chains are global and more integrated. Organizational complexity is far greater as companies merge, divisions are acquired, and more functions outsourced. Meanwhile the penalties for getting it wrong are ever more severe — and will be felt a lot sooner. Data must travel the nervous system of the modern enterprise.Today it may come from anywhere — a card reader, RFID sensor, bar code scanner, smartphone, terminal, PC or other device — then be carried through any kind of network — and finally serve a multitude of applications, often at the same time — from supply chain management, to production control, to sales and marketing, to finance and accounting and more.BSoft understands and handles the complex challenges of modern data acquisition: 

• Identifying and working with best-of-breed providers of RFID, sensor, and scanner equipment
• Integrating a diverse blend of data acquisition devices into enterprise networks
• Optimizing hardware, software and network performance for real-time data acquisition, presentation and analysis — even across wide geographical distances
• Integrating heterogeneous hardware and software resources at the system level — servers, operating systems, database managers, web services and more — to achieve a unified and coherent data environment
