"We licensed Lawson Software and selected Lawson Professional Services to do the initial implementation. However, we wanted an independent professional to steward the implementation to ensure it was done with ongoing operations in mind. netASPx not only provisioned, operated, and managed the development environment to ensure Sovereign and Lawson could focus on the implementation, but netASPx also brought the Lawson application through rigorous production control and quality assurance to ensure that it would operate properly for Sovereign. We now rely upon netASPx to guarantee ongoing transaction availability, ongoing lifecycle management, and complete single-point-of-contact, on shore support for all Sovereign application users."

Whether you are a large financial services company or a funeral home, you know your most important asset is people. And, as in any human capital intensive business, managing people and their information needs to be efficient and seamless.
There's no end, it seems, to the amount of data required to keep today's service industry running smoothly. That's why netASPx offers employee self service options so that you can do more with less - less HR staff, lower costs. With netASPx your employees manage the day-to-day details of their own insurance, retirement accounts, employee stock purchases, changes of address, the small (but important) stuff that bogs down even the most efficient of companies.
Yet, it goes far beyond just employee self-service. In the era of Sarbanes-Oxley and globally dispersed workforces, the requirements for instituting and maintaining corporate information technology (IT) systems have overwhelmed mid-market enterprises. The challenges of virtualization, real-time supply chains and advances in business processes serve only to compound the problem.
Historically, CIOs have turned to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software applications to systematize the work of their Finance and Accounting, Human Resources and Payroll, or Procurement and Distribution modules, to help their enterprises adhere to the control objectives. However, over time, these changes have come to strain budgetary and personnel resources, especially for mid-tier companies.
Recently, however, "Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has come to prominence, establishing a growing market for on-demand, predictable and reliable delivery of business applications. Service firms are using SaaS to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of their ERP applications while improving service.
netASPx' managed applications services (MAS) approach to SaaS is designed to help enterprise customers meet their compliance requirements, including Sarbanes-Oxley, while they recognize the business benefits of SaaS. MAS provides the deep support customers require across a wide range of ERP implementations, from general ledger to human resources.
