Port Newark Container Terminal LLC Implements Internet Commerce Corporation's ICC.NET™
Norcross, Georgia – September 27, 2006 - Internet Commerce Corporation (ICC) (NasdaqCM: ICCA), a leader in business-to-business e-commerce solutions, announced that Port Newark Container Terminal LLC (PNCT) has implemented ICC.NET as its platform for transacting business-to-business eCommerce and meeting the stringent requirements of the Department of Homeland Security.
PNCT selected ICC.NET because of ICC’s expertise in the transportation industry, their ability to provide connectivity to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 24 x 7 customer support, and innovative technology with Web-based document management capabilities through a real-time java application. The Web-based document management capabilities provide PNCT an easy-to-use tool for tracking, monitoring, processing and reviewing transactions, and the customer support ensures PNCT has a partner that understands the critical nature associated with monitoring and tracking their data 24 x 7.
“As PNCT continues to grow its business under rigorous security requirements, conducting business electronically means more complexity in our requirements and becomes more important to a streamlined operation,” said Steven Shu, Manager of Information Technology, at PNCT. “The company requires a partner that provides a reliable, available, secure, and innovative solution as well as connectivity to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, exceptional customer support and knowledge of the dynamics of our industry with regards to homeland security. With the ICC.NET solution, PNCT has enabled effective electronic information exchange with trading partners and gained a better overall visibility into the flow of information in our extended supply chain.”
“ICC has been working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection since 2004 to ensure we understand and stay on top of the fast changing requirements to improve homeland security,” said Thomas Stallings, ICC’s chief executive officer. “Our expertise in business-to-business eCommerce and the transportation industry makes an ideal partnership between the two companies. ICC.NET has provided PNCT with the solution that meets their needs today and offers flexibility for requirements of tomorrow.”
