ASP Solutions

Application Solution Provisioning: applications as a service

Put simply this is the ability to use a software product without needing to buy it, without the need to purchase powerful computers, without the need to manage the IT environment and avoiding the otherwise obligatory purchase of software licenses. Working in ASP (Application Service Provider) mode means simplicity of choice, ease of use, rapid start up and no up-front investment.

More and more companies are becoming eCompanies, connected to an Internet which is increasingly pervasive and efficient offering valid support for business. In this process it is unthinkable that the heart of the company, the management and administration systems, should not be adequately prepared to effectively exploit the potential that technology offers.

For small and mid-sized companies, the use of ASP products means getting the best from technology while leaving the burden to the companies who provide the service.

Cost savings is only one of the reasons why the ASP model is becoming increasingly popular in companies that find it to be a simple way to remove the technological complexities of managing IT systems. There is another important reason for the success of the ASP model: it allows the company and its collaborators to be on line immediately and to be accessible via the Internet to anyone who chooses to contact the company in that way. For these simple reasons, many small companies have already adopted the ASP model for their sales and administration management.

At PAT we propose the ASP model as…

The simplest way to use our solutions

Technology is the best way to successfully approach new challenges and manage the day-to-day operations of a modern company; technology, however, must first be chosen, then managed. Managing technology in the company is costly in terms of initial investment and resources over time. Choosing one of our ASP solutions means using all the potential of technology without having to manage its complexities.

The safest way not to need to worry about your choices

Purchasing hardware and software often means choosing goods which in a very few months become obsolete and which require maintenance and update contracts or carry the obligation of purchasing new licenses. The ASP model completely removes these problems because the company is not buying goods but subscribing to a service with fixed, programmable costs and which will bring no nasty surprises of any kind. These services will be provided via the latest hardware and software which is run by us at PAT headquarters. The ASP model means that all the hardware and software will be located at our secure Data Center.

The most cost-effective way of investing in your company

In the ASP model the company doesn’t need to spend anything on start-up for equipment and software licenses. The service is provided based on subscription to a contract that guarantees the client a level of service and 24/7 access all year round. Set-up times are reduced as there is no need to create an infrastructure to support the workload.
