However future concessions are probably going to take into account also new ICT implementation aspects, like internet sales, web page, centralised information systems, etc.
Without an automated and computerised information system it would be impossible to generate this type of operation data to satisfy these client demands.
AISA innovates to be prepared for these processes with suitable e-business solutions like the new centralised information system.
with a centralised analysis of the relevant information. 5. 1. 2 E-business activities The new centralised information system implemented by AISA enables the company to integrate
and optimise the processes minimising operation times and improving reaction times to the market changes or probable future scenarios in the market. he first steps prior the implementation of the centralised information system of AISA started with the introduction
This centralised information system started as an e-business system project in the third quarter of 2007.
The technical backbone of this centralised information system are two high E-business in the transport & logistics industry 124 capacity computer servers (from Hewlett packard) in the central company office.
The main applications of the centralised information system are interconnected. Some examples of important applications integrated in the system are:
The centralised information system has had a positive impact on the company and its business. In particular reporting, planning and controlling processes have been improved significantly.
The centralised information system has also a positive impact on data security. It is now possible to make backup copies of all the relevant data from the central servers,
Once the information system was accepted internally and users were accustomed to work with it, the positive effects became visible almost immediately.
The information system led to reduced human errors in information processing, as former manual processes could be automated.

which puts the customer's information system in contact with the Hupac system through standard XML technology,
In the past, Hupac was forced to search for information about its trains in the information systems of each railway company.
Hupac needed to find a solution that was independent from the information systems of railway companies and
An automated integration of the information coming from the location system into the central information system was required also.
the impact of this solution on the employees previously in charge of searching information on the different railway information systems was significant.
Thanks to the implementation of this solution, Hupac is now independent from the railway information systems
Another requirement was that the system should be easily integrate-able with the existing information systems at Saima Avandero.
