Calgary, Alberta, March 16 — In tough economic times, small to medium businesses (SMBs) are looking for alternatives to meet their IT needs. Today’s SMBs cannot go it alone when deploying and managing their IT, they must look at their operations to find cost-cutting options that offer efficiencies while improving product and service delivery to their clients.
The tradition of building and maintaining in-house IT system for e-mail and collaboration is expensive compared to the benefits an online hosted service offers. The evolution of technology is at a pinnacle point, where doing it yourself and trying to run and maintain your own systems in-house is no longer a viable option – it puts businesses at a disadvantage compared to competitors outsourcing non-core services to focus on their core business. By enabling enterprise-class e-mail and collaboration services to be delivered to an SMB over the Internet as a subscription service, Online or Hosted Services has transformed the delivery of IT services. Businesses can now buy IT just like they buy any other utility service, they plug into the Internet and pay for the IT services they need without the hassle of owning and managing their own technology.
Bulletproof InfoTech has embraced the Online Services trend, offering a full suite of services to enable businesses in Western Canada to switch to a hosted offering and get out of the business of running and supporting their own IT systems in-house. Their Online Service offerings include a range of services from Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint®, to a fully integrated Business Online offering to help businesses manage their sales, project delivery, and service needs. netSHIELD Online is dependent on quality service and support to maximize the value of software delivery over the Internet. Bulletproof fills this void with its extensive service and support, offering from pay-as-you-go to a fully managed service with a predictable IT cost structure.

Marc-Henri Lauzon, President of ITUtility.NET, “We understand the value of partnerships in the SaaS market space, no one company can offer an end-to-end Saas offering, the needs of businesses are too diverse and a partnering model is the road to success with SaaS”.
