DATA DELUGE
You're drowning in data, but you can't stem the tide. A study by UC-Berkeley's School of Information Management says that each year, the world churns out 1.5 exabytes of new information. An exabyte is a 1 followed by 18 zeroes. That amount of information roughly equals a stack of floppy disks two million miles high. As you might expect, the United States leads the info blitz, creating 35% of all print material, 40% of all images, and over 50% of all digital content each year. American households spend some 3,380 hours consuming information, including TV, radio, recorded music, newspapers, books, magazines, home video, video games, and the Internet, in that order.
THE PRICE IS RIGHT
Top-tier warehouse management systems that once cost a million dollars or more are now affordable. If you shop carefully, you can find some fully loaded programs for less than $200,000. According to ID Systems magazine, a typical mid-sized warehouse with 30 to 40 WMS users would have spent about $5,000 a user in the past. The per-user cost would now drop to less than $2,500.
