Computer Analytics Corporation Information

Computer Analytics is offering its ARC/400 product as an Application Service Provider to small companies that are looking for an easy, quick and less expensive way to upgrade computer systems. ASP is a new acronym for a time-tested method of timesharing hardware and software on a monthly fee basis. The provider operates the hardware and software centrally, giving the user company access to the systems over the Internet. This allows a company to upgrade systems without the usual initial outlay of cash and the long-term commitment to any hardware and software solution. It also allows the company to outsource all operations and technical support to the provider, with the goal of improved reliability, accessibility and reduced costs. The most common hardware setup is to use an existing PC network. Each user has a PC connected to a local network. A DSL or other dedicated Internet access line will be installed by the customer and connected to the network. Existing or new printers connected to any PC on the network will be used for ARC/400 printing.

If data conversion is required, Computer Analytics will develop a data conversion plan with cost estimates. Once approved, programming will be prepared to convert existing systems data to ARC/400. Usually, this data will include customers, products, accounts receivable, and sales history. Other data may be converted depending upon your existing systems. If any special requirements dictate custom modifications to ARC/400, Computer Analytics will develop a plan with cost ...
