Application Service Provider (ASP)

DSSIT is a "full-service" application service provider (ASP). We provide an in-house, secure data centre, and all of the connectivity and network infrastructure, management and support required to deploy native software applications over a wide area network (WAN).

The partnerships we form with independent software vendors, and software resellers and integrators, allow us to focus on the network and services required "behind the scenes."

In the partial service model found in many other ASPs, these various "back end" components are supplied by a combination of providers that collectively make up the ASP. Their customers may find that the IT functions they are seeking to outsource will be subcontracted to other suppliers, meaning more potential for error.

At DSSIT, our corporate philosophy and customer commitment is to provide all of the necessary network infrastructure, management and services required to deploy an ASP solution directly, rather than outsourcing these crucial components to other suppliers.

Our services include these key components:

• Data Centre
  Our data centre is secure, both physically and electronically. Environmental controls, such as humidity control and air conditioning, as well as uninterruptible power supplies, are a basic requirement for all our equipment.
• Connectivity
  DSSIT provides connectivity to the Internet with a variety of bandwidth options.
• Data Safety and Backup Services
  DSSIT safeguards your data using anti-virus software, firewalls, user-based access control and authentication, and intrusion detection. Data is backed up and stored off-site for your peace of mind.
• Hardware and Software Expertise
  We are committed to providing the best possible experience and expertise in deploying your software application, and to continuing education in the latest Internet technologies.
• Network Maintenance
  You have several options for storing your data, including rental of shared servers, rental of dedicated servers, or co-location of your own server in our secure data centre.
• Network Monitoring
  Our networks are monitored 24x7 to ensure that your systems are running at optimal performance at all times.
• Network Support
  Network support is available and on call for your ease of mind. Our experienced and professional staff can answer your questions to ensure you're getting the most out of your network.
• System Integration
   

• DSSIT partners with software resellers and quality software integrators to provide a coordinated application deployment strategy for your organization.

At DSSIT, Application Service Provider (ASP) means easy access to applications, anywhere, anytime. Whether you're on the road, in a hotel or at home, you can access the same software applications and the same data, with exactly the same look and feel as if you were in your own office.

It doesn't matter which operating system you use--Windows, Mac, Linux, DOS--you name it. Even if your organization is running more than one operating system, you get the same information, with the same user interface, from the same data source, no matter where you are in the world. Hassle-free access to your data is available to your application via a variety of connection methods, including the Internet, ISDN or ADSL.

With ASP partners providing the software and software integration expertise, and DSSIT providing the connectivity, network infrastructure, management and services, we offer a suite of high-quality solutions to meet your ASP needs.
