NetSimplicity Selects LightEdge as Application Host for
On-Demand Service

Software as a Service offering reduces sales barriers and opens additional markets for industry-leading room scheduling software company

DES MOINES, Iowa; (August 15, 2006) – LightEdge Solutions, Inc., a leader in converged data networking, voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) and managed IT business services, today announced that NetSimplicity has selected LightEdge as the application hosting provider for its Meeting Room Manager (MRM) On Demand product offering, which will enable customers to adopt and implement software without the time and financial commitment necessary to purchase, install and maintain servers, storage and backup devices on-site.

As a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, NetSimplicity's industry-leading MRM software is hosted in LightEdge's world-class secure, redundant data center and managed 24x7x365 by a professional network operations team. Instead of purchasing the software, installing it and maintaining it on their own network servers, businesses can subscribe to the MRM On Demand service from NetSimplicity for a low monthly fee or annual payments. The advantages of an on-demand solution include:

  • Lower upfront costs and no capital investment
  • Quick deployment with minimal impact to corporate network
  • Scalable for business growth
  • Reduced burden on in-house IT staff for installation, operation and maintenance
  • Software and technology upgrades automatically included
  • Highest security and redundancy with built-in data backup and recovery
  • Convenient 24/7 online access to the system from any location

"Our MRM On Demand offering removes the barriers to entry for businesses by lowering upfront capital costs and eliminating capital investment," said Nancy Harris, vice president of NetSimplicity. "After evaluating several vendors, we determined that LightEdge was the best fit with our on-demand strategy, providing the level of advanced technology and expertise we needed to ensure the highest reliability and availability of our solution."

"As a leader in office administration software, NetSimplicity is expanding the usefulness of its room scheduling software to a broader base of customers," said Jim Masterson, chairman and chief executive officer of LightEdge. "Now businesses that cannot afford the infrastructure or ongoing maintenance can quickly and easily subscribe to MRM On Demand at a fraction of the cost."
