Pentasoft's products on rental basis

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, DEC. 4. Pentasoft Technologies has launched its products through application service provider (ASP) model. It will enable users across the globe to access and use Pentasoft's products on a rental basis.

At a press conference here today, Mr. D. Kannan, Director and Chief Executive Officer, said that the company would make available all its products through ASP in banking and finance services, insurance, logistics and supply chain management, healthcare, hospitality services and technology solutions.

He said instead of paying huge sums to own the software, users would only have to pay a small sum as rentals. Pentasoft would provide easy-to-install kits which would benefit users with minimum infrastructure as well.

Mr. G. V. Babu, Vice President, numtv.com said the numtv would provide its billing and networking support to the ASP initiatives of Pentasoft. Numtv.com's current network capability with its existing 50 servers and 2.2 GB bandwidth could be a platform to launch products for ASP developers.

Mr. V. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Pentasoft said access to products through ASP would also benefit Small Office Home Office (SOHO) segments, enabling them to use the software and services without any capital costs.
