TMCNet:  PHASE 2's SimpleTheme Reinforced by New Domain - Phase2.com

[September 09, 2008]

PHASE 2's SimpleTheme Reinforced by New Domain - Phase2.com

HONOLULU --(Business Wire)-- PHASE 2 International--now at www.phase2.com--today announced the re-launch of its Website under a new, simplified domain name, phase2.com. Redirection will make the change seamless for users who access the SaaS provider's Website via its former domain, phase2int.com.

According to PHASE 2 CEO Kevin Doherty, the same growth surge that prompted the company to open two new regional offices and a regional data center, and move to a new larger headquarters in Honolulu this summer prompted the domain change for PHASE 2. "Ultimately, all of our changes over the course of the last couple of months are about efficiency and serving the market in the best possible ways."

"The software as a service (SaaS) market is booming now, and for good reason," said Amy Larsen DeCarlo, Principal Analyst, Internet/Managed Services for Current Analysis. "Deploying, hosting and maintaining business applications represents a big resource investment: one that can be hard for SMBs and other lean organizations to make. Using SaaS offloads not just the hefty up-front costs, but also the burden of server maintenance, including periodic software patches and updates--not to mention managing application glitches and crashes."

Ideal for reducing the software and systems overhead that can distract organizations from their core goals, PHASE 2's SaaS application solutions include its ShareCAD Pro(R), a powerful centralized platform based on Microsoft SharePoint for contractors, architects and manufacturers. A host of other applications are provided to customers on a central server-based 'pay as you go' basis. Offering use of Microsoft's SharePoint, Exchange, Project Server, CRM, Office Communicator and Team Foundation Server, as well as PHASE 2's own ShareMeeting and award-winning ShareCAD Pro, the low total cost of ownership incorporated in PHASE 2's SaaS (Software as a Service) model allows customers to benefit from a broader range of products than they could otherwise consider.

"We just can't be bogged down by computer issues," said Michael Haley, Owner of Squiggout.com. "Using PHASE 2's hosted resources for Microsoft Exchange, ShareCAD, CRM and SharePoint allows us to maximize our capacity to pursue Squiggout's mission of customizing Microsoft applications for our clients. My team of engineers is a remote group that requires instant access to customer projects and PHASE 2's service model provides the cohesiveness and coordination essential in today's dispersed landscape."

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
