DIAL-UP inernet access from anywhere in the world.
That's the latest offering to clearing and forwarding users from Jacobsen's Computer Freight Systems - the first freight system operator in the country to get beyond the test-phase in such Internet access, according to director Clive King.
Our 'Jacobsen's Remote' enables registered clients to access the entire suite of their programmes via dial-up access, he said. A system we have been running live for four months - and already with several clients aboard.
It's another first in a long line of firsts, King added.
First to use a laser printer for Customs & Excise (C&E) documentation, he said. First to demonstrate to customs in 1990 the early form of EDI (electronic data interchange) known as the diskette system.
