What is an ASP anyway?
Instead of purchasing a software package and installing it on your own hard drives or servers, you can employ an Application Service Provider (ASP) to host and manage your software application on the Web.  ASPs can host a wide variety of software, from brand name packaged software applications to huge back-end data management programs that support entire companies.

Simply put, the TerraBase Application Service Provider system (terrabaseonline.com) provides Integrate's family of software applications to users on a subscription basis over the Internet for a flat monthly charge.  For the monthly fee, the customer "rents" all or selected parts of the TerraBase software suite.  The software is deployed, hosted, and administered in a centrally managed facility.  The technique allows the customer to avoid high ownership costs associated with traditional IT services.  Integrate can capitalize on the newest technologies and economies of scale by offering ASP users a comprehensive data management system in conjunction with standardized data storage, security, backups, remote access, and administration services within one single package. 

Why should I choose web-enabled over traditional software?

It's cost-effective: 

No Software to purchase and install.
No Hardware to purchase, configure or maintain.
Utilize your IT staff on other priorities.
Use our technical experts, instead of hiring your own. (DBA’s, Security staff, etc)
Use software tools that may otherwise be too costly.
Pass subscription fees on to your clients when you work on their projects.
Reduced management costs.
Using subscriptions eliminates capital expenditures.
Stay current with the latest software versions with free upgrades.

Faster implementation

Is your IT department understaffed and overutilized? Where do you fit into your IT staffs priorities? Does your IT staff have the technical expertise you require? If you are asking these questions, TerraBaseOnline is the solution you’ve been looking for. No longer will you have to worry about software/hardware implementation while your project timeline disappears. Our technical experts understand the issues that normal IT departments aren’t staffed to address. Our familiarity with TerraBase implementation allows us to get you working in a fraction of the time that your IT department could. At Integrate, you’re our number one customer and we are anxious to respond to your needs and requests.

Reduces IT overhead

Using an ASP system can be a real advantage for businesses that don't have an extensive IT staff, or for those needing their IT staff to focus on other areas of the business.

Deciding to employ an ASP requires careful consideration.  It is important to understand the principles behind these new (and sometimes confusing) technologies.

You can access the ASP software and files directly from your desktop, just like any other web site.  Passwords, usernames, and other security measures are employed to keep unauthorized visitors from accessing your private information -- ASP security is normally more robust than what you may have in your own company.  Although your software is outside your company walls, so also are the everyday IT nuisances: maintenance, upgrades, and configuration issues.  The TerraBase™ ASP system can also provide additional services, consulting, and training as part of your package.

Is TerraBaseOnline right for my organization?
Should you consider TerraBaseOnline™?  Usually, it makes your operations run more smoothly.  TerraBaseOnline™ could be the best fit for your business if you:

  • Have several locations and/or telecommuting staff
  • Routinely confront major hardware or software upgrades within your company’s system
  • Are dissatisfied with your existing network’s accessibility, reliability, or security
  • Are dissatisfied with your IT departments responsiveness to your needs
  • Are not in a position to manage both your data and your IT division effectively
  • Have heavy IT administration and support costs

The ASP system provides users with:

  • reduced overall costs for both management and hardware
  • faster application deployment and trouble-free upgrades
  • access from anywhere, anytime with just an internet connection
  • enhanced security and redundancy

Best of all, the TerraBase™ ASP system can be run from virtually any operating system platform (i.e., Windows, Macintosh, Unix, etc.) and keep all of your critical environmental data literally a "click" away.

What's the difference between TerraBase, and the web-enabled TerraBase?
The web-enabled version of TerraBase offers the same robust functionality as the traditional software applications except for 3D capabilities. 3D features are currently unavailable in the online version of TerraBase.
