PHASE 2 SaaS for SMB, Debuts
Honolulu, Hawaii – (Website Hosting Directory) – January 14, 2008 -
Hosted software firm, PHASE 2 International, has unveiled reduced pricing for small to medium-sized businesses, offering a wide array of Microsoft applications, under the SaaS model, available online.
Kevin Doherty, CEO of PHASE 2 noted, ”Software as a service has a tremendous advantage in cost, particularly for the small business or startup. Just as Microsoft is starting to serve SaaS to large corporations, PHASE 2 is focused on providing the same business tools to smaller businesses in a very affordable way.”
The applications may be bundled together and accessed via one login from Phase2Int.com.
PHASE 2′s offering to smaller firms comes on the heels of Microsoft’s announcement that it will be expanding its own SaaS program for corporations with 5,000+ employees.
PHASE 2 subscriptions include Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Live Communicator. The company also hosts ShareCAD Pro, collaboration plug-in for AutoCADdocuments in SharePoint.
Adam Smith, Director of Marketing, PHASE 2 added, ”When we first heard that Microsoft was only serving SaaS applications to the largest corporations, we knew there’d be a huge unfulfilled demand from smaller companies. We tailored our SaaS applications to fit the budget and technical needs of those not eligible for the Microsoft program.”
Jenee White, Senior Account Manager of Ashbridge Media LLC remarked, ”PHASE 2′s subscription model fits into our monthly cash flow easily, and we don’t have to hire anyone for server maintenance. Our data is no longer anchored to the office. We can complete tasks at home or on the road and be confident we won’t be missing the documents or programs we need.”
SaaS solutions can save up to 80 percent compared to buying the software, according to some industry studies. In the context of hosted servers, software becomes much like other utilities one simply plugs into, like electricity, Internet, or cable. PHASE 2 is planning to expand its portfolio of business applications in the near future.
PHASE 2 delivers affordable and scalable access to high-end business software applications via SaaS (Software as a Service). Building from its strong history of IT consulting, PHASE 2 introduces an integrated suite of powerful applications for small-to-medium-sized businesses including Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Live Communicator, ShareCAD Pro, and applications for CRM, accounting and HR. PHASE 2 complements its portfolio of vertical software solutions with specific domain expertise and custom applications for industries such as architectural and construction professions.
All of PHASE 2′s business applications are delivered across the web to enable immediate, fast, on-demand access to corporate information wherever you are in the world. PHASE 2′s SaaS solutions ensure a scalable and secure IT foundation that provides affordable growth for future requirements, automatic data back-up, along with the most reliable, state-of-the-art infrastructure that removes the burden and risks of hosting solutions internally. PHASE 2 is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and is headquartered in Honolulu, HI.
