Surrey Metro & Knowledge Tech Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Tags:
transaction processing

Overview In less than six months, KnowledgeTech Consulting developed and deployed a Transaction And Reconciliation Application (TARA) running on Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Their client, Surrey Metro Savings (SMS), reduced transaction processing costs by an estimated 30%, decreased processing errors to less than 1%, and improved overall customer and employee satisfaction with more than 99.99% uptime. Due to ease of use and lower costs, the Windows 2000 platform was the optimal solution to get a system in place quickly and allow Surrey Metro Savings to improve overall business process efficiency resulting in a conservatively estimated 300% increase in revenue.
