  • TMW Acquires Another Trucking Software Firm, ISDC

    September 18, 2007 Alex Woodie

    TMW Systems, the Cleveland, Ohio-based developer of enterprise i5/OS and Windows applications for the trucking industry, continued its acquisition spree yesterday when it announced the purchase of Integrated Support Decision Corporation (ISDC), another software company developing solutions for the trucking industry.

    Since it was founded 28 years ago, ISDC, which is based in Richardson, Texas, has been developing software products designed to help companies in the transportation industry minimize their costs and maximize their profits. Its products, which support every major platform including i5/OS, help users achieve higher revenue per loaded mile, control the route, and minimize fuel and out-of-route costs, and are used by 21 of the top 100 trucking firms in the country, according to TMW.

    TMW says it plans to continue to develop and support all of ISDC’s products, including rnNetwise Enterprise, Netwise Frontline, Match Advice Netwise Supply Chain, Expert Fuel, Trip Alert, and Route Advice, and its two Web services, TruckloadRate.com and FuelAdvice.com. TMW develops three main ERP systems for trucking firms, including TL2000 for the System i, TMWSuite for Windows, and TruckMate for Windows.

    TMW has been doing its share to help consolidate the sector of the IT industry serving truckers. One year ago, it acquired rival Maddocks Systems, and in June, it acquired another rival, TMT Software. Today, TMW claims 1,800 customers.

    Also this week, TMW announced a new release of TruckMate, which was previously developed by Maddocks. Version 8.0 brings more than 4,000 enhancements, the company says, including support for 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and databases, a new user interface, a new reporting function, and many other enhancements.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server
    • Save backups to a dedupe appliance and the cloud
    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more

    Sign-up now to see a ViTL online demo and get a $50 Amazon e-gift card when the demo is complete as our way of saying thanks for your time. Plus when you sign-up you’ll receive a free facts comparison sheet on using virtual tape vs tape so you can compare the functionality for yourself.
