M2 Systems Corporation provides a Gateway Clearinghouse for EDS. The Clearinghouse handles incoming and outgoing messages from various insurance companies, doctors and hospitals. M2 Systems also provides system analysis, custom coding development, testing, training and maintenance support to EDS.

Fujitsu Invia Oyj

This very sensitive, secure solution allows the Finnish equivalent of United States Governmental agencies such as the CIA, NAS, INS and Customs to share information among their disparate systems and databases, using M2 Systems' ENGIN and Trellis products as the integration and interoperability tool set to enable the exchange. As one can expect, the critical nature of this system requires high availability and is therefore a testament to the confidence that has been placed in the M2 Systems products.

Dutch Police

The Dutch Police chose M2 Systems' ENGIN product to provide data and information systems integration between the twenty-five previously autonomous districts of the Dutch Police. This has allowed them to provide a nationally integrated information service to both fixed and mobile police operatives. This has provided significant value to the Dutch Police. Not only are there disparate application systems involved, but, unlike in the US where VHF and UHF are used, because of bandwidth limitations in Europe, the Dutch Police elected to use GSM as the mobile communications protocol/method.

KPN

The telecommunications industry in The Netherlands is changing drastically, as it is throughout the world. In an effort to become more effective and head off potential competition, KPN Telecom, formerly known as PTT Telecom, has developed a more efficient system for supporting their field installers operating throughout the country. The backbone of this solution is M2 Systems' ENGIN Message Broker used to integrate legacy systems for Work Order Management and Parts Management with a new system for providing this information to the Field Installers over a GSM mobile communication network. KPN expects that this solution will be rolled out to support over 16,000 field employees by the end of 1999.
