A demo is available today with the working model being delivered to biodefense organizations by June 2002. "Technology, such as our D3 platform, is an important addition to a biodefense solution. Personnel need to handle real-world problems with real-time solutions," said Mr. Crescenzo.

An application that can analyze the size of the shipment, determine the appropriate end-destination distribution points, allocate the required logistical resources to get the shipment to those points, and then sends an alert to multiple key personnel who will make final arrangements is a more powerful utilization of technology. This type of direction is available in D3." For more information about D3 or to view a demo of D3 or the PHARS, please contact Suzanne Jackson at 888-361-8262.
