E-Commerce Web Site Evaluation (State of Maryland)
The State of Maryland asked Volpe to evaluate a prototype Web site integral to its high-profile "e-Maryland" legislative initiative. |
The State of Maryland is recognized as a champion of e-business. The Volpe Center is recognized as a leader in transportation as well as in the design, development, and operation of successful public/private Web sites. Under an interagency agreement between the state and the Center, the Economic Analysis Division completed a conceptual review and evaluation of a prototype Web site designed to encourage and facilitate use of Maryland-based intermodal facilities by shippers, carriers, forwarders, and storage facility providers. The Volpe team, which consists of Mr. Don Wright and Mr. Douglas Rickenback of the Division and Dennis Piccolo of EG&G Technical Services, Inc. (a Volpe contractor), submitted a report of its findings on October 5, 2001.
The Web site, "Maryland - Supply Chain Information System," is a key component of the state's e-Maryland legislative initiative. It was designed by the University of Maryland's Supply Chain Management Center at the Robert H. Smith School of Business with support from Manugistics Corporation.
