Old Dominion Freight Line provides trucking services to shippers throughout the United States. Old Dominion wanted an easy-to-manage and cost-effective solution that would give customers and employees convenient and rapid access to current tracking, shipping, and billing information at the desktop and over the Internet. Old Dominion installed 300 Winterm units with software running Pegasus TransTech’s TRANSFLO imaging software and Microsoft Office applications-including Microsoft Outlook for email. Each server supports approximately 70 Winterm clients. Old Dominion rapidly deployed low-cost Windows terminals it needed for present and future applications and maintained access to business-critical imaging applications. Centralized management reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
