(IHS Inc.: Englewood, Colorado) -- IHS Inc. has announced the release of a major upgrade to its hazardous materials management system (HMMS) product. This release, HMMS 4.0.956, represents a significant enhancement in the functional envelope of the HMMS application, including the following six key feature sets:
•   Updated biennial report with electronic reporting capability.
•   Nationalized product features to support outside of the continental United States (OCONUS) bases in Europe and the Pacific Rim.
•   R-architected, hand-held data collectors to now include support for Windows Mobile/CE devices as well as the original Palm operating system. This will pass certain security requirements of “No Desktop Software” as well as allow better flexibility for synchronization in the field. This feature set will be field tested by the U.S. Coast Guard.
•   Highly flexible Web-based XML interface for SAP and other corporate ERP/HR/financial/purchasing systems needing to exchange real-time data with HMMS.
•   The use of this interface to exchange data with SAP is expected to be field tested at the Tobyhanna U.S. Army Depot.
