iJET Launches Worldcue Release 2.0

Annapolis, Maryland - July 8, 2003 - iJET today announced the availability of its Worldcue® Release 2.0 Travel Risk Management System to support corporations and their employees as they travel throughout the world. In April 2001, iJET became the first company to offer a state-of-the-art intelligence system that monitors the world around the clock and alerts travelers, expatriates and corporate decision makers to events and situations in real-time to help them avoid or minimize risks and travel disruptions abroad.

Designed to meet the needs of security, travel, human resource and risk management professionals, Worldcue alerts travelers to changing security and travel conditions, helping them to ensure safe and productive trips. In addition, the patent pending Worldcue system allows corporate decision makers to track, locate and communicate with traveling employees. iJET currently supports more than 300 multinational corporations and tens of thousands of individual travelers each day, and issues approximately 500 alerts per month for 183 countries and 268 cities around the world.

"Based on client feedback, we have incorporated many upgrades and feature enhancements since we first designed the system," said Greg Meyer, iJET's Chief Technology Officer. "In fact, there have been more than twenty development iterations in the last two years leading up to Worldcue 2.0. Thanks to our talented technology team, iJET has been able to respond to customer needs and market demands faster than our competition. Continued investment in our technology and analytical resources has made iJET the leader in delivering real-time travel risk management services to corporate decision makers and their employees."

Worldcue Release 2.0 includes the following new or enhanced features:
  • Ability to track, locate and communicate with traveling employees in real-time, as well as determine which travelers may be impacted by any emerging threat or travel alert.
  • Notification service immediately alerting subscriber via "Push" technology of important advisories by region, country and/or city, as well as changes to selected iJET Country Security Assessment Ratings.
  • Real-time access to employee itineraries and traveler profiles.
  • Comprehensive traveler profile extensions to support corporate emergency response and crisis management operations.
  • All-risk analysis of changing conditions utilizing 10 intelligence categories: Security, Transportation, Health, Entry/Exit, Communications/Technology, Culture, Legal, Environment, Financial and Language.
  • Real-time travel alerts and 24x7 continuously updated destination intelligence for more than 450 destinations worldwide.
  • Distribution of targeted "Push" alerts and advisories that proactively warn traveling employees of increased threats or advisories based on a traveler's itinerary, current location and personal profile information, such as pregnancy or recent immunizations.
  • Access to an extensive library of travel advice sheets covering situations ranging from hostage survival to food and water precautions.
"We designed Worldcue specifically to meet the unique needs of multinational corporations. iJET's proactive risk management approach warns travelers of changing conditions, such as civil unrest, transit strikes, severe weather or terrorist activity, enabling them to avoid issues before they become problems," said Bruce McIndoe, iJET's Chief Executive Officer.
