Avectra Selects
Emergent OnLine for ASP Services
Leading Application Service Provider and Membership Management
Software Vendor Team to Provide Turnkey Hosted Association
Membership Management Solutions
Reston, VA - May 11, 2000
Emergent OnLine, the premier Application and Video Service
Provider, and the number one Platinum Citrix (Citrix Systems,
Inc., Nasdaq: CTXS) consulting integrator in the nation’s
capital announced today that Avectra, a leader in professional
and trade-focused Association Membership Management solutions,
selected EOL’s iPAD™ applications hosting services to offer
clients nationwide service-based solutions.
"Associations utilize Avectra’s software for strategic
membership management and fund raising activities," said Mark
Streger, Chief Strategy Officer at Avectra. "Our clients now
have the flexibility of choosing the services of our hosting
partner, rather than pursuing traditional implementations and
managing costly in-house corporate-run systems."
"We welcome Avectra into our iPartner™
program," said Paul Ghostine, co-founder and CEO of Emergent.
"The program enables our partners to effectively expand their
market reach and penetration into small and medium-size
enterprises, and offers our iPartners™ a wealth of support and
resources to market service-based solutions into their client
base."
As a result of the partnership, Avectra
customers can house applications on Emergent’s servers and
then access their association management systems through the
Internet. The increasingly popular ASP model eliminates the
need for costly hardware and the need for a dedicated IT staff
to manage tier-one applications. Installations, upgrades and
maintenance all fall on the shoulders of the providers rather
than becoming the headache of the customer.
"Emergent’s expert server-based computing skills, and
dedicated hosting platforms completed the ASP hosting model,"
continued Steger. "Our respective services are synergistic and
complementary, enabling us to offer full turnkey solutions,
limiting the client’s upfront capital investment, and
eliminating the risk of IT staff turnover, while maximizing
availability, scalability and security."
