United States Postal Service

HWS Inc. developed USPS's first extranet. The applications allow their vendors to download solicitations and to register on-line to provide services to the USPS. The USPS staff use our Oracle database/Web applications to post new solicitations and search for vendors that offer the required service. Using Oracle database replication and Raptor Firewall technology, these applications run both on the public Web and over the USPS intranet where security is first priority. Over 5000 separate vendors have registered. The applications allow vendors immediate download access to documents/drawings which define USPS requirements. It also provides USPS personnel searchable access to appropriate vendors generating greater competition amoung vendors.

HWS Inc. is presently developing a JSP/Java/XML application to track the qualifications of their contractors for multi-million dollar construction projects.
