"The architecture of the reservation system made it very straight forward to offer the application services to an Internet client. At the same time, ACMS provided the features needed to prevent Internet access from adversely impacting Thrifty's core business processes. As a result, Thrifty was able to quickly open a new channel for reservations without incurring incremental data maintenance expenses, while at the same time maintaining consistency with the call center and airline systems."

"While we found several solutions, none gave us the comfort level or ease of implementation provided by the HP TP Web Connector software," says Peter Zabasky, Senior Analyst. "It allowed us to use our ACMS system to manage access to production databases. With this tool, we were able to reuse existing ACMS code and develop all our student Web applications in a little over a month. The results have been a tremendous success with our student population."

"Ithaca College has taken a major step forward by providing decentralized access to the college's information systems. Because of this success, we have many more applications, both student and operational, planned for the Web in the near future."

“ This information society of ours is changing at an incredible pace. Information supply has become a crucial factor in the efficient operation of virtually every company. Which is why suppliers of information technology, such as VX Company, have to know exactly what is going on within their specialized field in the IT market. They have to know which developments, products and systems will best meet the needs of a specific type of business.

...an investment in HP is an investment that bears witness to a definite vision of the future.”
