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

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.

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
