iJET Enhances Travel Risk Management Services
Expansion Includes Integration of Kroll Information Service; Coverage Increased to 180 Countries, 260 Cities

Annapolis, Maryland - September 10, 2002 - iJET® Travel Intelligence®, the travel risk management company, announced today a series of enhancements to its Worldcue® services that provide a new level of timely strategic and tactical intelligence and broader international coverage. These service upgrades have resulted from the strategic partnership with Kroll announced last May and the subsequent integration of the Kroll Information Service (KINS) to iJET. Enhancements include:
  • The Kroll Travel Watch database content has been verified and integrated into the iJET Worldcue Global Travel Intelligence Database, improving what was already the most comprehensive database available on the market.
  • Worldcue coverage has expanded from 150 countries and 24 cities to 180 countries and 260 cities.
  • The new Daily Intelligence Briefing (DIB), available Monday through Friday mornings through automatic email distribution and online, reflects overnight and up-to-the-minute situation reports from iJET's 24x7 intelligence operation center.
  • The new Monthly Intelligence Review (MIR) provides a strategic view of key issues and trends affecting multinational corporations and travelers around the globe.
"iJET´s recent service enhancements make a good service even better," commented Peter Savage, an international security consultant specializing in corporate crisis management and author of The Safe Travel Book, a standard reference for corporate security officers and travel managers. "Facing today's geopolitical uncertainties with travelers in every corner of the globe, corporate Security Directors welcome the broader and more timely international Travel Intelligence coverage that iJET is now delivering."

iJET´s intelligence experts continuously monitor events in 180 countries through more than 5,000 worldwide sources. Security, travel, risk management and other managers in client companies receive real-time advisories on developments around the world and have the ability to track, monitor, and communicate with traveling employees. Via email or wireless device, travelers are automatically sent itinerary-based alerts about events and conditions that may impact their trip, along with recommendations for minimizing travel disruptions.

"We continue to enhance our Worldcue service by leveraging the former KINS content and Kroll's global operations," said iJET CEO Bruce McIndoe. "By arming our clients with critical information - through our reports, assessments, real-time alerts and other travel risk management services - we help travelers stay safe and productive while on the road."
