Software-as-a-Service IT Service Management & IT Asset Management Solution Reduces Deployment Time and Recurrent Costs

Wellesley, Mass. - June 28, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc.the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that EasyVista Inc., member of the Staff&Line Group, has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
BoSS Award Logo 
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
 
EasyVista.com IT Service Management and IT Asset Management solution covers all ITIL v3 processes in a single, integrated yet modular product. EasyVista.com has been designed for quick and easy deployment and enables users to extensively customize their application through a totally codeless interface. EasyVista.com also reduces recurrent costs making it significantly more affordable than conventional on-premise solutions.

 

An example of EasyVista.com's measurable business benefits is Expro, a producer of oil and gas well flow management products and services. Expro reduced its ITIL annual total cost of ownership (TCO) approximately 40% by cutting the costs for database licenses and hardware, limiting the staff usually required to support and manage the application and by automating the upgrade process. By adopting EasyVista.com, Expro managed to implement the core ITIL processes and go live with a worldwide service desk in less than six weeks, 70% faster than an industry average roll-out, resulting in significant productivity improvements. The estimated breakeven ROI was reached in months rather than years with equivalent on-premise ITSM applications.

 

It is for these reasons that EasyVista Inc. has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1286.

 

"We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our ITSM solution," said Gregory Lefort, VP Business Development at EasyVista Inc.. "SaaS adoption is growing at a fast rate and enterprises are looking for flexible, scalable solutions to fit their dynamic business needs. This award is testament to the value organizations receive from codeless, fully-integrated, cost effective and customer-driven ITSM software like EasyVista.com."

 

"IT organizations are seeking service management solutions which enable them to deploy and administer ITIL processes more quickly and cost-effectively," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace."EasyVista.com SaaS solution is meeting these growing needs and helping IT organizations achieve their management objectives."
