Abstract:
	
		| 
 Though Federal Express (FedEx) began as an express air 
delivery company in the early 1970s, it has successfully transformed itself into 
an integrated transportation and logistics service provider. A major part of 
FedEx's success is directly attributed to its committed use of information 
technology (IT). IT has not only facilitated its business processes like 
operations, customer service and employee training but also integrated its 
information network with that of its clients to provide them with seamless 
logistic and supply chain solutions. This case study traces the evolution of 
FedEx's IT strategy.
