Servicing the heavy freight shipping needs of roughly 13,000 customers nationwide, AIT deploys the new applications to both internal and external users to achieve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and provide unrivaled customer service. To handle the enormous volume of daily transactional data, AIT utilizes an iSeries RPG (Report Program Generator) One of the first program generators designed for business reports, introduced in 1964 by IBM. In 1970, RPG II added enhancements that made it a mainstay programming language for business applications on IBM's System/3x midrange computers. application, which processes all information regarding the transportation logistics for customer freight shipments. Some of the larger AIT customers formerly accessed the character-based, green-screen application via dial-up lines to create shipments. Prior to the Jacada implementation, information from partners and contractors was manually entered into the iSeries application by AIT personnel. The outcome was delayed shipment status information, resulting in premium rates for last-minute transport alterations. "We realized that both we and our client corporations would benefit enormously from improved lines of communication "Lines of Communication" is an episode from the fourth season of the science-fiction television series Babylon 5. Synopsis Franklin and Marcus attempt to persuade the Mars resistance to assist Sheridan in opposing President Clark. ," comments Miguel Carvalho, AIT's Director of Technical Business Development. "Our goal was to develop an integrated Internet system that would provide the most current status of customer freight shipments, and in doing so, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and dramatically improve customer service." To accomplish these goals, AIT employed the Jacada Interface Server to make use of core legacy functionality as they built three separate Java applications for three distinct user communities. The Agent Service Center allows AIT's partners to enter shipment updates through the Internet directly into the iSeries application. Internal users access the iSeries through WorldPort, which enables them to perform all types of daily administrative tasks. Finally customers create shipments and monitor status updates through the Electronic Advantage Internet Shipping application. The Jacada Interface Server allows AIT to analyze specific needs of disparate user groups, re-engineer the iSeries application to address these needs, and deploy the customized thin-client interfaces to the user communities. "Jacada is helping AIT realize its vision of building a comprehensive shipping environment by allowing us to eliminate many steps within our operational processes," adds Carvalho. "When our customers create a shipment, our system initiates a sequence of events along the logistical chain, notifying all parties of any issues that may threaten a delivery.
