| With the introduction of U S WEST Hosting Solutions and its Business Alliance Program, U S WEST is combining its networking expertise with industry-leading application providers and integrators to offer end-to-end solutions for businesses, regardless of the level of outsourcing they require. Businesses now have a single source for multiple IT functions, such as platform hosting and web hosting, as well as network-based access to business applications and the resources needed to support them. U S WEST had products in the ASP realm even before the ASP industry was “born.” The existing products that already fall into this category include Lotus Notes/Domino Hosting, Dedicated Server Hosting (NT and UNIX), simple to complex Web Hosting solutions, and Lotus LearningSpace (a distance learning application). U S WEST has been a leader in application hosting since establishing its Lotus Notes and Domino Web hosting services in 1996. U S WEST’s expanded suite of services offer customers groupware/collaboration, distance learning, messaging and workflow applications, and support of vertical market applications in areas such as banking and ERP solutions. U S WEST also offers value-added services like security and support, and Service Level Agreements, to deliver its customers a three-tiered, end-to-end portfolio of services. Businesses that need to integrate cutting edge technology and applications with their legacy systems can now turn to Deloitte Consulting, the first participant in U S WEST’s ASP Business Alliance Program. Deloitte Consulting, will work with customers, in tandem with U S WEST, to provide the application integration and implementation and on-going application support. |
