|
Downers Grove, IL -- April 25, 2005 -- Integrated Warehousing Solutions, LLC, a leading supplier of Supply Chain Execution solutions, announced today that the State of Ohio, Department of Health has been named a Laureate in the 2005 Computerworld Honors 21st Century Achievement Awards Program. Founded in 1988, the program searches for and recognizes individuals and organizations who have demonstrated vision and leadership as they strive to use Information Technology in innovative ways.
The State of Ohio Department of Health was nominated in the Government and Non-Profit Organizations Category for their Strategic National Stockpile Inventory System, being developed and implemented by a team including Integrated Warehousing Solutions and using the company's IRMS Warehouse Management System. IRMS will provide the State of Ohio with Web-based order processing and secure wireless (radio frequency and PDA devices) inventory visibility for the mass distribution and management of pharmaceuticals and vaccines along with BT response products.
"We must be able to respond quickly in a bioterrorism event to help protect the public's health and well-being." said Kent Ware, SNS Project Lead for the State of Ohio Health Department, based in Columbus. "The system we are building will allow us to respond with speed, efficiency and accuracy."
IRMS is being deployed by the State of Ohio in connection with a 40,000 square foot central distribution facility with 10 users as well as 7 relatively small regional warehouses, and potentially hundreds of stationary and portable satellite dispensing sites. The system will additionally interface into a new Graphical Information System to graphically reflect the threshold and quantities of vaccines remaining within BT regions, and provide officials with a closed loop Supply Chain Management system.
"Flexibility and visibility are the keys to building an organization that's positioned for success under any circumstances," said Carl Brewer, president of Illinois-based Integrated Warehousing Solutions. "The work being done by Kent and his team to ensure readiness - whether responding to a crisis or just delivering better day in and day out services - represents a new level of innovation for the demand-driven supply chain with applications across many businesses."
"Each year, Computerworld Honors identifies and recognizes individuals around the world whose visionary use of Information Technology produces and promotes positive social, economic and educational change," said Bob Carrigan, CEO and publisher of Computerworld, the Voice of IT Management, and chairman of the Chairman's Committee of the Computerworld Honors Program. "The innovators represented in this collection have been recognized by leading IT industry chairmen as true revolutionaries in their fields."
The State's winning Case Study, together with case studies from the other winners and laureates of the 2005 Computerworld Honors, is available at the Computerworld Honors Program Archives On-Line where the entire collection is accessible to scholars, researchers and the general public. The Collection is also distributed to more than 134 members of the Computerworld Honors Global Archives.
