To address the critical issue of multiple information systems, Menlo selected One Network Enterprises’ transportation applications as the initiative’s software backbone.
“One Network’s next-generation transportation management suite was a principal component of our integrated solution proposal,” said Andy Dyer, a vice president at Menlo Worldwide Government Services and the program manager for DTCI, in prepared remarks issued in March. “Their advanced optimization capabilities, coupled with a powerful network-based architecture, will play a fundamental role in the successful deployment.”
In the first 22 weeks of operation, through the end of August, it has points on the board:
