Agency's computer system key to new partnership - Business First of Louisville:
vuwodu.wordpress.com
But the sophisticated computer system owned by the drew executivez of ElectronicData Systems, which has a worldwide reputation for technological advances, to Louisville 18 monthx ago. They were lookingb for a partner to go aftee anew U.S. Department of Education contract to process the paperwork of federallyg backed financial aid for college studentes throughoutthe country, and was an obviousz choice, said Don MacEoin, an business "Our solution to the Department of Education's problem was based on modifyinfg existing computer systems. KHESLC has a lot of experience," MacEoimn said. It "also has a reputation for givingvvery high-quality service. That was attractive also.
" Paul executive director of KHESLC, acknowledgeds that his agency's system is unique. "There are not a lot of state-of-thde art computer systems for servicingstudent loans. They are quiter different fromhome loans," Borden said. Now there's a handsomes payoff because of Kentucky's investment three years ago in the systekmfor KHESLC, a nonprofit agencu that issues bonds to finance student loans and handlew the paperwork. By bidding with the KHESLx system as part ofits plan, EDS won a $378 milliohn contract with the federal government, and Louisviller could reap up to 1,800 new jobs that pay an averagre $25,000.
EDS will manage the Louisville facilit and will oversee software updates to meetthe contract's specificationsx and upgrade customer service. IDA Systems of Idahop is the creator of the original MacEoin said the modifications will include computerizedc voice response to telephone inquiries and redesigningcorrespondence packages. "It'ds not a matter of buying something off the shelv for yourhome PC." The alliance with EDS will mean a new way and placer of doing business for KHESLC. The agency'xs work will be handled alongsidethe high-volumse federal contract. The agreement calls for the loan processorxs to be employeesof KHESLC.
EDS is transferring aboug 40 supervisory personnel from Texaxs to Louisville to managethe division. The remaininb positions will befilled locally. KHESLCx now manages a portfolioof $270 millioj at its offices on Linn Station Road, wherw there are 92 employees. Borden' job as KHESLC's top manageer will not change. The new operation will be located atanothee as-yet undetermined site in eastern Jefferson Countu and is scheduled to be up and runninh with 105 employees by next summer.
Borden said he expectx the number to increase by several hundred annuallt and toreach 1,800 within sevenb years as the volume of student loan grows to several billion "We are in for some rather remarkable growth," Borde n said. In addition to handling the work already doneby KHESLC, the new center will service loanx originating at an EDS facility in Alabama and othe r student-aid centers with federal contracts. Borden said one of the conditionzs ofmaking KHESLC's proprietary computer progranm available to EDS for the new contract was that the center had to be locatedc in Jefferson County. With the needed systemk in place, the agency had the leverage to make that he added.
The project may work well as a job center linketo Gov. Paul Patton'ds welfare reform efforts, with a push to include amonh the new hires people who now are Borden said.

humojo.wordpress.com
The probe was called for by Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, and Sen. Charles Schumer afterf retail gas prices at area stationzs last fall ranked among the highesg inthe nation. At the same time, prices in most other U.S. metropolitabn areas were declining faster along with the priceof oil. In a letterr sent May 13 by FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz to the agency said after a careful andextensivw investigation, regulators could not find any evidence of illegal activityg in gasoline markets in any of the affected cities. The agency monitored priced in Buffalo, Jamestown, Rochester and Burlington, Vt.
“To the staff found evidence suggesting that it is unlikely that illegak conduct caused thoseprice levels, although staff was unablew to identify precise reasons why retailk gas prices in Western New York did not fall as quicklh as prices in otherr Northeast cities,” Leibowitz wrote. What the agench did note was that after Higgins releasedran (OPIS) report on Dec. 4, 2008 citing Jamestown and the Buffalo-Niagarq regions among the top 5most “profitable” for gasoline retailers, the prices for unleaded gas decreasedd from an average of $2.25 to $1.85 by the end of 2009.
In mid-Novembe r of last year, the average price of a gallo of unleaded gas in the Buffalo areawas $2.66 compared to the statewids average of $2.53 and the national averaged of $2.15. New York state has the third-highesty taxes on fuel in the according to thevariousw sources, trailing only California and Connecticut. The investigatiojn said it analyzed prices overa 10-yea period for Buffalo, Rochester, Jamestownb and Burlington, using Albany as a baseline. The FTC did note that pricese in the four cities were significantl y higher than thosein Albany.
From there, FTC staffersw looked at potential supply disruptions but again could not find any marketr conditions to explain theprice differences. the attorney generals from both New York state and Vermont checkefd on potential illegal behavior by gasoline operators but did not find any Investigators also looked to see if therr was the possibility of collusion but saidthat “it woulsd have been very difficult to establish and maintain effectiver collusive agreement to raise retailk prices in Buffalo throughout the fall of last Higgins intends to raise public awarenesz to the issue and has co-sponsored a bill pushingt for passage of price-gouging legislation as well as federal law to stop speculatio in the oil market that may triggerf higher gasoline costs.
“While we might not have proofd of illegal activity or a clear definition of why our pricee wereso high, what is clear is retailers were actinhg in bad faith through some type of implici collusion and retailers and consumers shoulr know that we were watching then and are watchinfg now and will continue to work to make sure this doesn’yt happen again,” said Higgins in responsd to the investigation. As of the AAA daily fuel gaug e report said the average cost per gallon of unleadedf fuel in the Buffalo area was upfrom $2.17 a month ago. Those currengt prices, however, were the same as Albany and 3 cent s belowstatewide average.
