Nets to Ladders Selects OpSource On-Demand to Deliver Groundbreaking Benefits Enrollment Network

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."
