THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that TeamSupport.com has been named the latest winner of theBest of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 by THINKstrategies as an initiative aimed at bringing greater attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
TeamSupport.com is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Muroc Systems, Inc., a Dallas- based holding company focused on developing productivity enhancing software products delivered via the SaaS model. TeamSupport.com's integrated SaaS- based customer service, product management, and bug tracking system allows manufacturers, their customers, and key client-focused teams to better communicate so they can reduce the time and cost to perform critical business functions.
An example of TeamSupport.com's measurable business benefits is Data Financial, Inc. which has been serving the financial systems and equipment needs of banking, retail and casino gaming industry clients since 1983. By using TeamSupport.com's on-demand customer service and help desk application, Data Financial has saved $3,200 in labor, two weeks of software development time and $1,200 in travel/lodging expenses per installation, representing over $100,000 savings over the past year. The company also saw their 'new concept to release' time reduced by as much as 40 percent, depending on the complexity of the release.
"We are extremely pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our on-demand solution," said Robert C. Johnson, CEO of TeamSupport.com. "We recognized the need to keep everyone, customers included, in-the-loop. By breaking down the barriers between help desk and bug tracking systems, TeamSupport.com lets everyone work from the same knowledge base; that enhances internal and external communications, which translates into happier customers and a better product."
"As organizations become more dispersed and dependent on third-party relationships, they need new mechanisms to communicate and coordinate their activity," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director ofTHINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace."TeamSupport.com's SaaS-based solutions encourage better communication, collaboration and coordination inside and outside organizations to achieve their business objectives."
Based on the success of the BoSS Awards program which focuses on SaaS solutions, THINKstrategies has launched the Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program to recognize companies which are
delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-
Service (PaaS) solutions producing measurable business benefits for their customers. For more information regarding the CCBV Awards, go to http:// www.thinkstrategies.com/cloudcomputingawards.html
