Hendriks, AMOS Director of

Marketing. "We want to cover the full business processes of our customers."

Proving the company's commitment was its recent announced strategic alliance with Veson Nautical, a provider of integrated management systems for the shipping industry. Xantic and Veson

Nautical will produce and distribute

AMOS Chartering & Operations, a soft- ware product that takes an innovative approach to organizing and managing a shipping company.

Xantic's network of regional offices will provide consulting and support for AMOS Chartering &

Operations. The new product will be integrated with the rest of Xantic's

AMOS Business Suite so that informa- tion is shared seamlessly between ship and shore.

The New AMOS Business Suite

To maintain top of the line software,

AMOS is continuing to invest heavily in

R&D. Many new and known AMOS products have been seamlessly integrat- ed into the new AMOS Business Suite.

All modules in the AMOS Business

Suite share the same AMOS framework, same single database and same technol- ogy. Plus they're fully integrated, pro- viding comprehensive functionality and reducing complexity. Data can be easily shared between AMOS modules and across departments, eliminating re-entry and errors. The modules in AMOS

Business Suite now share the same look- and-feel. Users familiar with one of the

AMOS products will require minimal training to start using the full suite.

Along with the new AMOS software:

Voyage Management, Personnel, and

Quality and Safety; the Business Suite will also feature AMOS Maintenance &

Purchase and Mail. Planning voyage and cargo activities, keeping track of actual voyage execution and progress, and monitoring events that effect operational efficiency are all parts of the newly inte- grated Voyage Management software, an essential tool for all shipping compa- nies.
