Company takes a methodical approach through its Anticipation Advantage Methodology to ensures that Sant's systems are scalable.
The Planet, a privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced that The Sant Corporation, a provider of software solutions has been selected for its Northstar Managed Hosting to run critical applications. The company states that Sant provides software solutions that enable companies to increase their sales effectiveness through the production of proposals, RFP responses, presentations and related documents.
The company also avers that Sant customers span a broad range of vertical markets and include businesses in the telecommunications, financial services, banking, logistics, hardware and real estate industries.
"Reliability, scalability and security are key for organizations whose customers rely on hosted applications," said Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing and product management for The Planet. "The Planet Northstar dedicated account team evaluates business requirements upfront based on our Anticipation Advantage methodology. They have a full working knowledge of each company's business goals and processes before implementation even begins. With the designated account team available around-the-clock, customers can be assured their IT infrastructure is well managed."
"We offer clients two options for licensing our software," said William A. Geers, vice president of operations for Sant. "They can either install our applications behind their firewall or select our popular hosted option, which we offer through The Planet's data centers. Because many of our customers are in the financial services arena, SAS 70 compliance was also critical."
"When we announce a new product, long before it's generally available, we are able to conduct extensive alpha and beta testing cycles," Geers notes. "The Planet is a big part of that process. Since we set up beta sites for each individual customer, we want to control those environments. We know we can count on the stability of the environment at The Planet, which is one more thing we don't have to worry about. In fact, Planet Northstar has helped us improve our overall customer satisfaction, which is a priceless consideration in our business. The Planet Northstar account team takes a methodical approach to our business through its Anticipation Advantage Methodology and ensures that our systems are scalable. They clearly have a vested interest in our success."
