Sensor nets, RFID poised to change the enterprise

RFID is so much more than just Wal-Mart. RFID and wireless
sensor nets are starting to make their presence felt across
enterprise networks. Some early adopters relay their successes
in our story.

SAP to maintain ERP dominance in 2005, AMR says

ERP spending grew at a healthy 14% rate last year, but the
market isn't expected to sustain that growth rate in 2005,
according to new research. Looking ahead, AMR Research expects
ERP revenue growth to slow to just under 3% this year.

Microsoft patches critical bugs in IE, Windows

Microsoft released 10 security patches, including three deemed
"critical," for bugs in a variety of the company's products.
Released Tuesday as part of the company's monthly updates, the
critical patches repair flaws in Windows and Internet Explorer
that could allow attackers to take complete control of a
computer, Microsoft said.
