In Search of Refunds: Pfastship Tracks Late UPS, FedEx Deliveries
by Alex Woodie

UPS, FedEx, and Airborne Express won't be giving any awards to Pfastship for the new software it introduced last week.

Johnny Cat Maker Finds Reason to Purr with AS2 Link to Wal-Mart
by Alex Woodie

For Oil-Dri Corp., manufacturer of Johnny Cat and other premium kitty litters, it was never a question of whether to implement AS2.

This spring, Oil-Dri went live with LANSA's AS2 Direct product on an iSeries server, and met Wal-Mart's deadline. READ MORE >

DSS Enables Member-Level Auditing with Release of Auditron400 V3
by Alex Woodie

Dynamic Systems Solutions last week announced a new version of its OS/400 auditing tool that keeps tabs on any changes, additions, or deletions made at the member level. Previous releases of Auditron400 only monitored down to the file level, which left malicious or careless users with the ability to make changes that escaped detection by the auditing tool.
