Asite and OpSource Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver
Software-as-a-Service Platform for the International Construction
Industry
Scalability and Global Reach Key to Meeting Needs of the UK’s
Leading SaaS Provider for Construction IT
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 27, 2008 --
OpSource™,
the leader in Web
operations, today announced a strategic partnership with Asite
Solutions, the provider of the leading global Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) platform for the construction industry. Asite will use OpSource
On-Demand™ to support the delivery of
their SaaS platform to an increasingly global audience. Asite joins a
growing list of international companies selecting OpSource as their Web
operations provider.
Asite delivers flexible construction IT solutions, including tools for
collaboration, trading and sourcing for use by construction companies at
every point in the supply chain. With its customers requiring an
increasing amount of data storage, and with the company expanding
geographically in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the USA, Asite
needed a company that could manage and provide dynamic scalability for
its SaaS infrastructure. Asite selected OpSource for the scalability,
reliability and 100 percent uptime necessary to deploy the company’s
SaaS application to its growing customer base.
Nathan Doughty, COO of Asite, said, “Our
relationship with OpSource pairs like-minded companies seeking to push
the boundaries of innovation for SaaS application delivery and cloud
computing, or ‘hardware-as-a-service’
infrastructure delivery. By partnering with OpSource, we can rapidly
expand our SaaS platform to meet our global demand and focus more than
ever on delivering innovation and the best possible customer experience.”
Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource, said, “Asite was
developing SaaS solutions even before they were being called SaaS.
Selecting OpSource On-Demand will enable them to meet the demands of
their client base as it grows – both
geographically and in terms of the amount of data they work with –
while also providing intercontinental redundancy and disaster recovery.
We’re honored to have earned Asite’s
trust as its Web operations provider.”
