What types of problems does Imperial solve for their customers?

Most software, hardware or integration problems for real-time, near-time or batch systems. We have driven projects ranging from minor enhancements to major systems rewrites. A unique combination of systems and business process experience enables Imperial to solve diverse integration problems where technical know how is not enough.

Clients tell us:
  • I need to convert my high-cost, high-error manual systems and processes to reliable, scalable and secure web-based systems that improve productivity and operating margins.
  • My dry goods company ships thousands of packages per day through 50 locations, and I need my computer systems to work with a variety of different shippers, such as FedEx, Airborne and DHL.
  • I need a company that will deliver the best off-the-shelf solution out there. If no such solution exists, I expect the firm I hire to have the expertise and project team experience to design, implement and support a custom application.
  • I need to protect against hackers and viruses to improve security while lowering my hardware and software operating costs.
  • Many of my overseas partners still use 56k lines and the performance of their servers is unacceptable. They can't upgrade but I still need better throughput.
  • I need interoperability across different types of hardware, different types of software and diverse geographical locations, but my staff lacks the expertise to make this a reality.
We solve all of these problems and many more. Equally important, because we are not beholden to any software or hardware vendor, we recommend and deliver what works best for you at the best available prices.

What types of technologies does Imperial have experience with?

Ready for some alphabet soup? We know: Linux, SuSE, Red Hat, Windows NT, AS/400, Solaris, Novell Netware, Palm OS, .net services, IBM 360, NFS, TCP/IP, CGI, PERL, PHP, XML, ASP, HTML, XHTML, Flash, Java, PGP, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, IBM DB/2, C++, C, C#, Cobol, Frame Relay, PPP, ISDN, Borland Delphi, CodeWarrior, VPNs, firewalls, wireless and handheld integration, and supply chain management applications.

We also understand many more that aren't listed. Ultimately, however, understanding these technologies is only an entry-level qualification. What's truly important is having senior-level, real-world experience in identifying and solving integration and interoperability problems when designing, implementing and maintaining complex business processes for transportation logistics.

Why should I choose Imperial Systems?

For 3 reasons:

1.  We do the job right the first time. We are systems integration experts with years of first-hand knowledge in the transportation logistics industry. We understand transportation logistics and the myriad of technologies that interact with such systems. We have an impressive customer list to back it up. You can depend on us to have intimate knowledge of how the major operations systems at Federal Express and Airborne Express work. This means you're paying us to get the job done, not to learn on your dime. Equally important, we recommend the best long-term solution to your problem, and we base that solution on your objectives, your time-frame and your budget.

2.  We understand your business processes. Our knowledge of the shipping industry extends beyond information systems and into the business processes that drive them. Before we start an integration project, we perform a requirements analysis to determine what needs to be changed, what doesn't and what systems and people will be affected. For example, our analysis may determine that an old accounting or currency system is the real obstacle to your being web-enabled. By identifying and addressing the root cause of your problem, we build long-term, robust solutions without unnecessary applications or bells and whistles.

3.  We are experts in integration and interoperability. Individual applications often work well by themselves. But in our electronic and web-based world, heterogeneous hardware and software systems are located in different places, and run on different operating systems using different protocols. In this software Tower of Babel, important data get lost, distorted and never transmitted. We solve these interoperability problems without crashes and with minimal downtime. This enables us to consistently execute integration projects on-time and under-budget.
