Inks Dedicated Services Agreement With Formrouter
[24th September 2003]
Springboard
Managed Hosting, the Carolinas leading Data Center and
Web hosting company, signed a multi-year contract with
FormRouter, an emerging applications software provider
(ASP) for electronic forms automation.
FormRouter’s
subscription based service enables non-technical staff
within companies of all sizes to convert paper-based
forms to Internet hosted digital forms in hours, without
IT involvement. Once loaded, designated users can collect,
download submissions to any application or database,
such as Microsoft Access.
By
eliminating manual re-keying, the FormRouter solution
can reduce costs, increase accuracy and slash the time
required to facilitate the routing of forms between
individuals filling in forms and the companies who hope
to process the forms data.
Under
terms of the new agreement, Springboard will provide
FormRouter with a roster of dedicated services - fully
managed servers, redundant SAN architecture, and constant
24x7 monitoring and management of FormRouter’s
online applications by live Level 3 technicians, and
the security of a completely redundant online environment.
The
FormRouter application technology operates on the Microsoft
.Net platform – a set of small building block
technologies that can connect to each other as well
as other larger applications.
“FormRouter’s
practical, simple to use technology has tremendous upside
potential in the corporate sector,” said Rich
Lee, CEO of Springboard Hosting. “Their state
of the art .Net implementation requires a high level
of certified Microsoft personnel to maintain, and our
dedicated services model allows them to outsource the
ownership and maintenance of the hardware.”
According
to Chris Pieper, CEO of FormRouter, “The Springboard
relationship ensures that our clients can design and
publish forms, and download respondents data within
a secure, dependable and constantly monitored environment.
Outsourcing the hardware and management of the implementation
lowered our capital and personnel costs and enabled
us to focus resources on the large-scale launch of the
.Net platform. Springboard was the best solution to
host such an advanced environment.”
