The strategy of
has five guidelines:
The
fundamental aim that is common to all current telematic projects
for transport and logistics is to achieve the starting of a
large quantity of operators. For the sake of efficacy of the
instrument used as a mean of communication and ability to create
synergy, it must obtain a homogeneous critical mass of interlocutors.
confronts
transport and logistic problems from the Ports, which are a
reference of interchange between different transport systems.
Globalization is rapidly and continuously increasing beginning
exactly from the transport sector in which the logistic port
nodes assume an irreplaceable role regarding the transfer of
goods from the place of production to that of consumption.

The
choice regarding 
information technology instruments is dictated by the following
requisites:
-
the
use of a basic standard platform that is at the same time
cheap (Lotus Notes);
-
the
capacity to operate at its best even on networks with reduced
bandwidth, in order to be on the highest number of nodes;
-
the
use of a distributed database architecture to minimise the
necessity and the cost of data transmission and to increase
at a maximum the redundancy and the robustness of the system;
-
the
choice of a protocol that gives assurance of the identity
of the participants in dialogue, and contemporarily guarantees
the inviolability of the information transmitted. In this
way ensuring the requisites concerned with the legal and
commercial rules of a network transaction.
These requirements are considered to be fundamental to the
development of e-business, an area to which
is oriented. Electronic commerce which is in rapid expansion,
finds itself at an important cross point concerned with the
security of data transmission: the end of the expensive and
rigid private network, with the consequent migration towards
the public networks, and the arrival of the digital signature,
new form of guarantee.
