In 2015 Jay Hemmady joined OIA as Chief Information Officer with responsibility for the company ’ s global information services , network and related technology . Prior to joining OIA , he served as a Senior Business Consultant helping a variety of West Coast Fortune 1000 organisations with technology strategies and implementation .

Hemmady earned his technical and consulting credentials at EDS ( now part of HP ) and holds an MBA in Finance and a Bachelor ’ s in Electrical Engineering . the packaging to the factories . The client puts packaged goods into an outer carton that goes onto a pallet , and these are assembled into a cargo container , shipped to the destination country , ‘ de-consolidated ’ and sent to local warehouses for distribution . All of this is handled by OIA on its customer ’ s behalf .

This saves the manufacturer from finding carriers for the goods it produces : and in any case the carriers , whether shipping lines or airlines , don ’ t want to do the consolidation and de-consolidation work once they have landed the container at its port of destination . For manufacturer , carrier and 3PL provider alike this is a virtuous circle – because of the volumes it handles , OIA can obtain bulk rates that give the client a much lower cost to market .
