The Infosys RFID solution helps us look beyond the current mandate for compliance and creates a roadmap for the company", said Kevin Downs, chief technology officer, Kids Headquarters. "We are confident that this customized solution will not only help us to comply with Wal-Mart's directive, but it will also help us transform a cost driven initiative into a competitive differentiator."
