Reality: Each ASP solution is tailored to a company's specific business environment. While an ASP typically can reduce or even fully replace dependence on an IT department, one of the benefits for companies with a full IT staff is the freedom it avails them to focus on deployment of new functionality. Regardless of the pre-existing staffing configuration, Global International Consulting Group has no predetermined "cookie cutter" approach to staffing companies choosing an ASP deployment.

Reality: No two software packages are the same and neither are any two companies that implement them. The biggest differentiator is the service each provides. Global International Consulting Group does not force a fit - we will work with you to ensure that your ASP solution meets your individual business needs.

Reality: Anything is possible but at what cost? Some companies force customers to change the way they do business in order to accommodate the software, while some over-customize the software, making it impossible to operate and manage.

Global International Consulting Group can help you manage the change. From the earliest stages, we clearly present your options, the benefits and associated costs for each, so you can make informed decisions. We can assist in adjusting your processes and in training your staff to utilize it optimally. And when customized solutions are called for, we can design and build stable software modifications tailored to your company's particular requirements.

Reality: In any system, security can be broken down into two major components: the physical security of the hardware and the security of the data and application. Global International Consulting Group's state-of-the-art data centers are unsurpassed in their ability to handle the physical security of servers and equipment, with 24/7 security guards, surveillance equipment, gas fire suppression systems, protected power supplies with backup generators, and automatic climate control systems. Securing data and applications requires expertise and diligence. Today, Internet transactions are more secure than ever before, with advanced encryption, firewall, and security technology continually evolving to even greater levels of sophistication. In addition, Global International Consulting Group offers companies the option of being connected to their data via a point-to-point network connection (T1, T3, etc.). Regardless of the option you choose, your ASP solution can be cost-effectively configured to meet your company's most exacting data security requirements.

Reality: An ASP is a delivery mechanism-simply an alternative means of receiving software. In that respect, it's no different than having your applications spread out on a WAN. However, in either an ASP or in-house environment, there are challenges to interfacing systems. Global International Consulting Group is proficient at systems integration. With years of marrying diverse platforms, creating the seamless interface between system components is one of Global International Consulting Group's core competencies.
