www.rfcode.com - RF Code, Inc. Joan Osleeb, 512-439-2245 (o) or 512-789-6168 (m) josleeb@rfcode.com RF Code, Inc., www.rfcode.com, a leader in automating physical asset management using RFID enabled solutions, today announced at AFCOM Data Center World Conference and Expo (Booth #123), that it has received certification from IBM for its Zone

Manager integration module, which provides seamless, real-time physical asset inventory, location information, and wireless sensor information to IBM Websphere Premises Server applications.

This news follows closely on the heels of an earlier announcement that RF Code is certified Ready for IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT. RF Code's approach of providing an easy integration path means that data center customers of IBM Premises, IBM Tivoli Maximo, Eracent and other market leading asset management and enterprise systems get the instant information they need to better manage their IT assets.

RF Code was virtually the first to announce a data center solution that fully automated the inventory and audit process down to the rack level. "We realized then that working with IBM to integrate our solution into their data center offerings and eliminate manual tracking would greatly benefit both our company's customers," said Mitch Medford, CEO, RF Code.

Data center asset tracking is an important part of an overall asset management strategy. It's emerging as a key to an organization's overall financial strategy. Without asset awareness, asset security and audit compliance are virtually impossible. Interestingly, inventorying those assets is one of the most time intensive, manual processes data center professionals undertake. According to a new ABI research report written about recently on TMC.net, ABI analyst Jonathan Collins is quoted as saying: "Managing and auditing (data center assets) is a serious pain point for IT departments, and automating those applications with RFID can drive clear ROI."

By automating the inventory process and automating the capture of environmental state information, RF Code helps companies reduce their operational costs while providing critical information companies need to run more profitable organizations.
