<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">There
is plenty you can be doing now to prepare your organization
for the adoption of the new EPC network.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">First
you need to learn as much as possible about what the Center
is developing - go to our '<a href="aboutthetech.asp">about
the technology</a>' page and read our research papers.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Second,
you need to understand and estimate the impact this technology
will have on your organization. Read our <a href="howtoadopt_business.asp">business
cases</a> and use our <a href="howtoadopt_roi.asp">online
tool to calculate the value</a> to your business.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Then
review the <a href="howtoadopt_readiness.asp">readiness guide</a>
to take you through some simple steps to adoption. But the
best way to learn is by doing - by experimenting. Order one
of our evaluation kits and try the technology for yourself.
Alternatively, <a href="howtoadopt_try.asp">download our free
software</a> and learn more about how it can work for you.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Finally,
the new EPC network will be launched at a <a href="epcsymposium.asp">Symposium</a>
on September 15th - 17th at McCormick Place in Chicago (European
and Asian symposium will follow shortly).</font></p>
