Pressemitteilung von: Farrellsoft Limited
(openPR) - October 7, 2005 -- A new breed of businesses are emerging that have learnt the harsh lessons of the dot com boom-and-bust start to the millennium. Towards the end of the twentieth century, businesses started to benefit from eCommerce by using it as an opportunity to reach an extremely large audience, conveniently and affordably. Internet giants like eBay, Amazon and Lastminute.com were successfully launched during those early years of the Internet and are running extremely successfully today. However, many faltered because of the excessive expenditure required to build and run the technology and to market the business to the new breed of cyber-shopper.

Five years on, the Internet is an altogether more familiar place and Internet technology (as well as broadband access) is more reliable, flexible and cost-effective than ever before. This new Internet-friendly environment has spawned a renewed faith in Internet technology companies that can offer great services to their customers at lower and lower prices.

And It's not just online retailers that are stealing swathes of Internet-savvy surfers away from more traditional outlets. Software is becoming more conveniently developed and licenced over the Internet as well. Whereas the traditional model of developing software, putting it onto CD-ROMs, packaging it up and distributing it to licenced customers was great during the years of the personal computer, business users are now finding that it has become infinitely more convenient and much more affordable to subscribe to online software application service providers that remove all of the hassle and headaches associated with managing and networking software in-house.

Business IT Online (www.businessitonline.com) is one such service that helps its customers to take so many of the hidden costs out of running business software. Traditionally with pre-packaged software, on top of the software purchase price, costs could be found at almost every turn: servers, local area networking, maintenance and support fees, IT service providers for installation expertise and trouble-shooting and per user licence fees, not to mention the cost of time to the business owner spent trying to get the software installed and operational. With businessitonline, all a company and its staff needs are computers with a browser and an Internet connection and they can conveniently and affordably manage key business information across the company and from multiple locations, without any of these extra costs. The service is there when you want it.

Business IT Online is following in the footsteps of on-demand software providers such as Salesforce.com that are making the online software-as-service model a preferable alternative for many businesses that just don't want to take on the burden of the extra costs associated with more traditional installed software applications.
