OpSource announced that Nets to Ladders (N2L) has selected
OpSource On-Demand to deliver its groundbreaking Benefits Enrollment Network
(BENtm). By delivering this innovative Web application with OpSource, N2L has
gained the critical reliability and security it needs to help social services
organizations transform the lives of America's working poor through
easily accessible and cost-effective benefits enrollment and savings-assistance
processes.
OpSource provides N2L with a complete Web application
delivery solution, including infrastructure monitoring and management, as well
as management of N2L's database software, all at a predictable, affordable
monthly subscription rate. As a small, growing company, N2L is not burdened
with large up-front infrastructure investments and can concentrate its
resources on application optimization and business development.
John Krauskopf, N2L's Vice President of Development, said,
"We recognized OpSource as a financially solid company with the proven Web
delivery expertise and commitment to service that we needed to assure our clients
of secure, reliable benefits services. And with their flexible, success-based
approach to everything, we will be able to grow our business with confidence
that the OpSource Web delivery platform will scale accordingly without putting
undue strain on our budget. What especially stood out about OpSource was the
high level of services they provide for the money ?it's really hard to beat. It
allows us to just focus on our business knowing that the infrastructure is
being properly monitored and managed for us."
Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource, said, "We are delighted that
N2L has selected OpSource for its BENtm solution, demonstrating the value that
companies serving the public and not-for-profit sectors can achieve with a
comprehensive Web 2.0 delivery platform, priced on demand, like OpSource
On-Demand. Handling the public's private information requires top levels of
security and protection ?an integral part of the OpSource On-Demand platform
that assures N2L's clients that their cases are kept confidential, building
trust and strengthening N2L's position in the industry. And with guaranteed
uptime and round-the-clock system monitoring, N2L has the capabilities needed
to accelerate benefits enrollment and processing to speed help to those most in
need of assistance."
