Federal Express Corporation, the world's largest express package transportation company, is using Netscape software as the primary technology for accessing its growing number of corporate intranet sites. Federal Express chose to standardize on Netscape software for its emerging intranet effort based on:

·        the company's experience using Netscape products - including servers, clients, development tools, and commercial applications - to support their Internet site;

·        its platform independence; and

·        Netscape's technology leadership

Federal Express's applications of Netscape technology include:

  • using Netscape Navigator as a standard application front end for 30,000 employees across platforms including Sun, HP, Intel, and Macintosh;
  • publishing internal technology reports, personnel guidelines, tax forms, employee evaluations, and project-management documentation; and
  • Creating an adjunct help-desk support application to streamline customer support by information systems.

Today's FedEx is a network of companies that share a rich heritage of innovation and industry leadership. Federal Express has one of the most widely acclaimed interactive business Web sites. Use of the Federal Express Internet home page exceeded a milestone of 1 million hits per month at the end of 1995.

Over the next two years FDX Corp. oversaw the assimilation of these companies and introduced them to many trademark service and technology enhancements.
