My name is Les Thompson, and I am the President of Thompson Software Solutions, Inc. I started this company because of my belief that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is going to change the way in which we work and live, and the RFID revolution is happening now. A recent poll found that over 60% of Americans had heard of RFID. This tells me that RFID is here and ready to explode...but we have to do it right the first time!

I was a part of a very dynamic team that successfully delivered a fully functional RFID quality assurance solution to the American Standard Company subsidiary, Trane, in early 2004. Since that accomplishment, my partners and I have studied many different ways to apply RFID to other applications. Today there are three main RFID markets:  retail, healthcare, and defense. Using a rich understanding of RFID's capabilities, Thompson Software Solutions, along with its partners, can build solutions that target any of these major markets, as well as, any other RFID application you can imagine.

I believe that my company is in a unique position based on my professional experience and the business partnerships that I have forged. From embedded operating systems development for Motorola to automated backend receiving applications for Home Depot, I have touched each layer of the architecture and development stack needed to build and deliver a successful RFID solution. It requires patience and persistence to be a pioneer in a new technology. Most companies believe that they can deliver an RFID solution because they hold most of the pieces to the RFID puzzle, however, only being able to fulfill 99% of the solution is where most companies fall short. Working with RFID requires innovation and determination because all of the pieces to the puzzle cannot be purchased and some must be created from scratch. It is important to keep this in mind when working with an RFID solution provider.

Thompson Software Solutions also offers consulting and contract services for other applications, such as online banking, that are not related to RFID. The company's mission is to provide real solutions to real problems based on a real time-line. My partners and I welcome projects that are unrelated to RFID as long as the problem and solution are interesting.  Please contact me if you have any questions.
