Entry Software Chooses OpSource Web Operations to Empower Entry.com
OpSource On-Demand Compliance, Scalability and Security Key to Selection

OpSource today announced that Entry Software, a market leader in integrated work management solutions, has selected OpSource On-Demand to empower its Entry.com On Demand service, which delivers enterprise-class power and the highest levels of security and standards compliance to teams of any size, without the need for up-front investment.

Entry Software provides work management solutions to reduce cost, improve operating efficiency and increase strategic advantage for IT departments, product departments and service organizations. Its comprehensive Project Management and Help Desk software are deeply integrated with Portfolio Management and Time Sheets to produce the most powerful collaboration suite. Facing SaaS customers increasing demand for the level of operational rigor, Entry Software turned to OpSource to upgrade its SaaS hosting center to the highest levels of scalability, security, support, and standards compliance.

Entry Software CEO Barry Cousins said, We previously managed our own hosting operation and realized that with our growth rate and the increasing customer demand for SaaS operational rigor and support models, it is critical to find a partner who can handle those components so that we can concentrate on our core offerings to provide continued product excellence. We find OpSources ongoing adherence to standards such as SAS 70 especially impressive since it requires a great deal of commitment.

OpSource CEO Treb Ryan said, The world is rapidly moving to on-demand. Companies are finding that successfully delivering applications and services over the Web requires much more than simply selecting a managed hosting provider. It requires a partner who understands and thrives in the on-demand world. We are very excited to work with Entry Software as we share their focus and dedication to deliver cost effective, high quality on-demand products and services for customers.
