RainCastle Communications Propels Massport Into the Next Millennium with New Web site
RainCastle and NetNumina Solutions Develop Technology to Update www.Massport.com for Logan Airport's Business and Leisure Travelers
Newton, MA June 7, 1999

In a move that will launch Massport's Logan Airport into the 21st century, RainCastle Communications and NetNumina Solutions have developed a solution that will provide business and leisure travelers real-time flight information, traffic patterns and airport parking details - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. RainCastle, a full-service graphic and information design services company and NetNumina, a leading systems integrator and consultancy specializing in building custom e-business solutions have joined to co-develop the Massport (Massachusetts Port Authority) Web site.

The new customer service Web site offers users:

• Everything they need to know about getting in and out of Boston when using the Massport facilities - Logan International Airport, the Port of Boston, Tobin Bridge and Hanscom Field
• FlightTracker, the Massport Web site feature which allows the user to track the status of airborne arrivals and departures at Logan - and can alert the traveler via PC, pager, PalmPilot or phone
• Detailed information about how to conduct business with Massport by discovering all the available opportunities - from construction to international marketing
• A look into Massport's future - and how far plans have already progressed

"Massport's new Web site will offer accurate and timely information to our customers when they need it most, before they use our facilities," said Joey Cuzzi, Director of Communications at Massport. "Whether you're a traveler looking for a specific bus schedule to Logan Airport or a Massachusetts company exploring shipping options to the Far East, the information is a simple keystroke away."

NetNumina and RainCastle employed a unique method of co-development for the Massport project that took a total of 6 months to complete. RainCastle has extensive experience in Web site design and development, while NetNumina has an impressive background in leveraging existing legacy systems and developing Web-based e-business applications. Together, they provide an unmatchable formula for creating successful Web-based solutions - well branded, easy-to-use and state-of-the-art technology.

"We wanted to design a user interface for the Massport Web site that could serve both the experienced Web surfer and the novice," said Paul Regensburg, President and Creative Strategist at RainCastle. "We worked to keep the interface clean and simple with a clear and easy-to-use navigation scheme, while also providing 'just the right amount' of information for users with each click of their mouse."

"We are confident that www.massport.com provides a vehicle for Logan Airport users to quickly and accurately receive on-line information that will help them navigate through the airport," said Anish Dhanda, President of NetNumina Solutions. "We are pleased to have worked on such an important project that will benefit millions of New Englanders."

In addition to the real-time information, the new Web site also streamlines the process of doing business at Massport facilities with its new online construction and professional opportunities database. With a couple of clicks, anyone seeking to do business with Massport will find the necessary information to move forward.

The new and improved Massport Web site launched on June 3.
