Editor's Notes

  • #3 Wish to portray the way in which we view ourselves and our practices
  • #6 Founded by MD James Crowter Microsoft Surestep Methodology for deployment of our projects Microsoft Gold Partners – highest level of accreditation available, 6 competencies across the companies. Accreditation achieved by staff Pegasus Partner
  • #9 Quicker Implementation. Since the ASP already has the equipment, applications, and expertise, hypothetically, you can start using the software the day the contract is signed. Shorter Application Cycles. All users are updated with the latest and greatest versions of the software all at once, so the delay is minimal between when the new version is released and when you can start processing with it. Premium Application Availability. With the reduction of IT overhead, best-of-class applications are suddenly within grasp for Organisations with limited resources. Improved Performance. The business of ASPs is to implement best IT practices for superior levels of availability, security, backup, disaster recovery, and help desk (shadowing). Financial Predictability & Improved Cash Flow. ASPs provide software and services for a flat subscription fee. The overall expenditures for hardware, applications and management can be reduced 30 to 60 percent. Hosting your Operational software means a lower up-front investment and predictable monthly payments, resulting in improved cash flow. Reduced Risk. With no capital expenditure on software, hardware, and IT personnel, Organisations can test out new or existing software for the right fit. If the software does not meet the Organisations needs, it is much less painful to convert to another system. Reduced Redundancy. A popular strategy among Organisations, mergers and acquisitions can sometimes create redundancy in IT hardware and systems maintenance. Not so when the hardware and systems are owned by the ASP. Scalability. For a Company with a focus on growth, it is relatively easy to add server power and expand to additional locations as a business grows. 24 by 7 Availability. Because you need only an Internet connection to access the application, even if you are travelling, at a client site, or even at home, you can input and process real information.
