IINT Indus

Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), a leading Service Delivery Management (SDM) solution provider, today announced the Quick Start service, a new offering designed to help clients facilitate more rapid implementations and deliver faster return on investment (ROI) for Indus software solutions. The Quick Start approach leverages the IndusHosting� application hosting service to let clients move forward with key software implementation activities while the required hardware and networking infrastructure is being put in place at the client site. This capability gives clients� IT staff additional time to size, plan, procure, install and validate the application environment while allowing the implementation timeline to proceed on schedule to meet project goals. �During enterprise software implementations and upgrades, project delays can be extremely frustrating and costly,� said IndusHosting Senior Director Jeff Hebert, Indus. �Quick Start helps our clients reduce the upfront risk of these delays. And, it provides a cost-effective means of streamlining the implementation without adding resource or capital requirements � thereby enabling faster ROI on the software solution and reducing its overall cost of ownership.� The Quick Start service can provide a Web-hosted baseline environment for the client�s project team in as few as 10 days. The environment is sized to support project team training, business process reviews and initial implementation activities. Via IndusHosting, the service provides: The latest hardware in state-of-the-art data centers VPN connectivity to the client�s facility The latest version of the Indus applications and system software Full support services during the client�s business day The Quick Start solution can easily be expanded to include additional regions for interface development, data load or tailoring activities. Indus can even support projects through the implementation phase and into production prior to helping migrate the system into clients� internal data centers. And, if clients so choose, the IndusHosting support service can be employed to manage their application on a long-term basis. Pricing and availability The Quick Start service is available immediately. Pricing varies depending upon the scope of the implementation.
