Hi Buckey;
Appears that Infocast is advancing its work with the US National Enviornmental Policy Institute contract.
InfoCast to Host Facet's Cause&Effect Decision Management Software; Web-Based Solution Will Be Used in Pollution-Reduction Initiative
TORONTO, April 26 /CNW/ -- InfoCast Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: IFCC), an e-enabling application service provider (ASP), today announced that it will add Facet Decision Systems' Cause&Effect(TM) decision management software to its roster of hosted offerings. This
innovative, Web-based solution helps managers make strategic decisions by turning data into knowledge.
"Cause&Effect's decision management capabilities will be a key component for our e-enabling suite of hosted applications," says Jim Leech, InfoCast's president and CEO. "By providing data assembly analysis, workflow,
visualization, and interaction over the Web, Cause&Effect will allow our clients to quickly analyse and understand their data. The ability to make complex decisions rapidly is a crucial competitive advantage in e-commerce."
Cause&Effect will be immediately put to use in conjunction with Teletrips.com. Teletrips.com is an online application, hosted by InfoCast, used to track the amount of automobile emissions reduced by an individual who
works from home.
The US National Environmental Policy Institute (NEPI) in conjunction with the National Telecommuting Air Quality Act (NTAQA), is using Teletrips.com in five densely populated United States cities (Washington DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston and Los Angeles) to track the amount of traffic
pollution reduced by organizations that implement work-at-home programs.
Cause&Effect will be used to integrate the Teletrips.com data with geographical, municipal, and watershed data to create a clear picture of traffic patterns and how these impact city infrastructures and the environment. This information will help city planners make informed decisions
about future transportation issues, and turn urban sprawl into "smart growth."
"As Cause&Effect is a processor-intensive application, InfoCast's Sun server-based ASP platform is the ideal hosting environment for it," says David Hawkins, President of Facet Decision Systems. "The hosted solution makes
Cause&Effect cost-effective, allowing clients to access it on a pay-per-use pricing structure. InfoCast and Facet will work together to deliver this application to a broader market, thus enabling corporations to transform data
into knowledge and become smarter companies."
