AGIIS Version 2.2 Launching

ORLANDO - Feb 9/04 - SNS -- AGIIS 2.2 (Agriculture Industry Identification System) is being launched here this week at the annual membership conference for RAPID, Inc., a not-for-profit internet based business organization.

Version 2.2 will extend the applicability of AGIIS into the manufacturers and distributors of seed by incorporating new data elements and advanced product searches for seed attributes. In addition, AGIIS 2.2 will provide members with the ability to search the database for a product by its proprietary code, as well as the ability to import and extract product files to support products to an XML document.

"AGIIS 2.2 provides a deeper set of data elements and product searches that connect companies wishing to do business with each other faster and more economically," said Ron Farrell, executive director and president of RAPID. "The database has proven that it helps member companies move items through the supply chain more efficiently. AGIIS 2.2 represents the tip of the iceberg of the e-business advantages that will be available to our industry in the future."

AGIIS was developed to help stimulate an increase in efficiency in electronic communication and supply chain transaction processing within the agribusiness industry. It facilitates e-business between buyers and sellers of agricultural goods, and allows companies worldwide to interact and achieve the benefits and advantages that technology has brought to other industries.
