The solution enables user authetication and usage permission checkout in distributed environments where a user may be concurrently connected to several internal operative systems from several public Internet servers even in different countries. Authentication and permissions are handled globally, regardless of location and physical server hardware. For a large and complex organisation operating world-wide and having a lot of moving user objects, like ships and trucks, the location independence of the authentication is critical.

Finnlines also has a strong background of using Distributed Transaction System Middleware messaging for their operative database data transfer between host systems at different sites around Europe. DTS was chosen over database vendors' own distribution tools because of its robustness and excellent performance.
