Application Service Provider

The Software Link ASP service is the perfect solution for companies who want a robust accounting or business management package such as Sage BusinessWorks®, Sage MAS 200® or Sage MAS 500®, but do not want to deal with the cost or hassle of maintaining their own servers and internal networks.

ASP Defined

Traditionally, an ASP is defined as "a business that provides the hardware and software infrastructure to run and manage another company's software applications from an off-site location." In Software Link's case, we have created our own storage facility to host and manage our clients' software needs while eliminating their need to manage and maintain internal hardware.

Key Benefits of the Software Link ASP Service

  • Predictable Information Technology (IT) Costs
    Among our program's strongest advantages is the fact that an ASP can eliminate fluctuations in the cost of data storage and security, as well as the cost of hardware. Rather than purchasing $60,000 worth of hardware one month, then spending very little the following month, a company taking advantage of the ASP solution can achieve one flat monthly payment.
  • Keep Pace with Technology
    A common axiom regarding hardware and software investments is that the technology becomes outdated the minute a purchase is made. With the Software link ASP solution, customers are afforded use of the latest version of software. Additionally, our clients can rest assured that their hardware and operating platform is the most powerful and stable system available.
  • Quick Implementation
    Clients are often frustrated with the time it takes to get recently purchased hardware and software up and running. Since Software Link is already fitted with Best Solutions, we can have a new client up and running, and even Web-enabled, in a matter of weeks - not months.

Managing applications can be a challenging, time-consuming affair for any corporation. Considerable resources and management time are spent with IT issues. The Software Link ASP solution allows our clients to focus or refocus on their company's areas of expertise, while the ASP services picks up some or all of the IT tasks.
