Infinium ASP Ships Highly-Tailored Hosting Services to Viking Freight; Infinium Chosen for Track Record of Delivering Proven and Reliable Solutions
MARLBORO, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2000--Infinium ASP, a single source, fully-accountable application service provider and wholly owned operating company of Infinium (NASDAQ: INFM), today announced that Viking Freight Inc., the leading less-than-truckload carrier providing Western regional transportation service, and a $370 million wholly-owned subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), has selected Infinium ASP to provide management, support and access to its Web-based enterprise business solutions via the Infinium ASP Enterprise Solution Hosting Center.
As part of FedEx Corp. and its family of companies, Viking Freight Inc. is the leader in providing next-day Western regional freight service. With more than 5,000 employees, Viking provides services through a comprehensive network of 65 service centers in the 11 Western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Known for its "Easy-To-Do-Business-With" customer orientation, Viking is consistently recognized for its industry-leading on-time delivery performance record.
Infinium ASP is delivering Web-access to highly-tailored enterprise solutions that include Infinium Financials, Human Resources and Payroll applications, and providing customized consulting services and customer support to more than 100 users at Viking.
"Infinium ASP will alleviate much of the business pain and pressure on our resources that manage, support and upgrade our hardware, network and software applications," said Randy Gardner, vice president of information technology at Viking Freight. "While we continue to retain control of our HR, payroll and financial data and functions, Infinium ASP will empower our IT workforce to concentrate on more strategic, customer-focused and revenue-enhancing initiatives."
Unlike other ASPs that offer generic applications with limited customizations and functionality, or the enterprise application vendors well-known for their underachieving and all-consuming implementations, Infinium ASP rapidly deploys optimized solutions that meet vertical industry-specific business requirements and help customers gain a significant competitive advantage.
"Infinium ASP delivers enterprise solutions tailored specifically for Viking Freight's complex business requirements that are managed, serviced and supported by Infinium ASP's highly-experienced consulting and customer support staff," said Maria Burud, senior vice president of Infinium ASP. "We provide our customers high-value ASP offerings through the unique combination of our own Solution Hosting Center, proven enterprise business solutions, and customer and industry-specific application and consulting expertise."
