In today's unstable, unpredictable world, global travelers are at the mercy of everything from guerrilla wars to earthquakes. As events in Turkey, Uganda, and Ecuador have shown, having the right information at the right time can mean the difference between life and death. International travelers rarely have reliable, timely information about their destinations before it is too late. Until now. AMITA Corporation of Canada has solved this dilemma with their latest product - COSMOS. COSMOS links every consulate and embassy from a given country into one seamless information pipeline. Data on everything from passport status to the latest political and environmental crisis flows instantly from one bureau to all others. Travelers can access COSMOS through the Internet or by registering with their consulate at their destination. Canada's Foreign Affairs department has used COSMOS for the past six years to the envy of the rest of the world's governments. Canadian citizens in Turkey were located within 48 hours after the earthquake, while critical information about their safety was passed within hours to anxious relatives. With COSMOS, officials tracked down a wandering Canadian student in Damascus, Syria at the request of his worried sister. If government agencies and citizens used COSMOS, incidents such as the recent deaths of Americans in Uganda, as well as those in Mexico in 1998, might have been prevented. Because of its speed and flexibility COSMOS has also saved Canada's Foreign Affairs department millions of dollars. Get the information before CNN. AMITA and COSMOS - information that saves lives and money. AMITA is hosting a seminar on its consular software product in Washington November 3rd, 1999 with confirmed attendance from over 35 countries.
