- A leading transportation company boosted its dispatcher productivity by 10 percent.
- A growing logistics company with locations in 68 countries tapped EDS to develop an IT road map that downsized its applications portfolio and created substantial back-office efficiencies, allowing the company to control costs while increasing scale and customer service.
- When the U.S. Postal Service changed its electronic data interchange requirements, a commercial carrier stood to lose a substantial portion of its revenues. By partnering with EDS, it was up to code in just three months.
