THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Dec. 19, 2007 -- Bourque Data Systems, Inc. (BDS), the leading rail logistics software developer today announced that it has certified data file integration between its rail shipment management software, RAILTRAC(R), and the GPS and sensing devices of GE's VeriWise(TM) RAIL remote monitoring system.

This integration will allow shippers the ability to enhance decision-making, asset management and regulatory compliance with regular data feeds and alerts on the location and condition status of railcars.

New RAILTRAC(R) GPS mapping and reporting functions are easy to interpret and will provide a set of robust warning indicators should a shipment fall out of spec.

"We are excited about working with GE to integrate their GPS and railcar health data streams into RAILTRAC(R)," said Steve Bourque, president of BDS. "With this new capability, shippers can report on a real-time basis the location of their rail assets as well as railcar condition and maintenance issues."

GE's VeriWise(TM) RAIL solution uses a remote monitoring device, satellite based communications, a series of sensors and established business rules to gather and provide information about the location of the rail fleet and the conditions inside each railcar.
