Integration - The Challenge
Using the Internet to streamline your company's logistics
process can pay big dividends.  However,
the costs of integrating your company's current systems
with an internet-based logistics solution can be intimidating,
particularly when you figure in the cost of third-party
integration packages, long-term consulting engagements
and compatibility problems.
OMSI - The CarrierPoint Solution
CarrierPoint realizes that companies such as yours
have developed substantial in-house IT expertise over
the years, and want to utilize these talents to their
fullest. As a result, we provide the Open Messaging
Systems InterfaceSM (OMSI) toolkit to
assist in integration. This toolkit provides several
packages that can be used to integrate with the CarrierPoint
platform. All of the packages provide a secure interface
to CarrierPoint's solutions, with full encryption, authentication
and guaranteed message delivery. CarrierPoint's OMSI
packages can be implemented and maintained by your IT
personnel, even if they do not have Internet development
experience.
