　　 Aug. 19, 2004 -- Datamax Corp., a worldwide supplier of bar code and RFID printing solutions, has introduced the Datamax RFID Authorized Solution Provider program. This program is designed to enable Datamax value added resellers/systems integrators to properly integrate Datamax RFID solutions. Datamax RFID solutions are designed to assist users in complying with several recent mandates from Wal-Mart, the U.S. Department of Defense, Target, and others that require pallets and cartons to be tagged with RFID for increased supply chain visibility.

　　"The Datamax RFID Authorized Solution Provider program will provide end users with the assurance that authorized VARs are qualified to develop the application, providing a cost-effective RFID solution," says Sarah Schabacker, business development manager for Datamax. "The program is also designed to protect a VAR's investment in undertaking the knowledge development necessary to successfully deploy RFID solutions."

　　 Datamax has created an Integration Services Group to assist Datamax global channel partners in integrating Datamax products into end users' applications and software environments. The Integration Services Group will help drive growth and offer more value to Datamax channel partners through its mission of developing software alliances and communicating integration capabilities to Datamax VAR partners. This no-charge service expands the Datamax printer solution by focusing more on the systems and applications driving a Datamax printer.
