vFirm Offers Opendesk Intranet Platform to Eliminate Software Headaches
for Professional Service Firms
Reston, VA - January 31, 2001 - vFirm Systems, Inc., an ASP specializing
in productivity solutions for small business professionals, today announced
that it has selected Opendesk Corporation's web-based Intranet as the core
application of the vWebTop, its ASP offering. By licensing the Opendesk
web-based Intranet, vFirm was able to customize and deploy their own branded
suite of productivity applications that meet the every-day needs of their
customers.
The vWebTop allows customers the option to choose from a menu of
applications, including specialty applications such as document management
and time & billing, which are particularly important to small business
professionals (including attorneys, consultants, accountants and financial
advisors). With the vWebTop, vFirm eliminates the hassle of managing
software in-house, allowing their customers to focus on serving clients.
Opendesk's private-label Intranet allows service providers like vFirm
to quickly deliver ASP services to their customers under their own brand.
"Speed and flexibility were key drivers for us in choosing a provider,"
says Tommy Blanchard, VP of Business Development for vFirm. "We needed the
speed associated with an out-of-the-box solution with the flexibility of a
custom job. Opendesk was able to deliver. We configured the vWebTop Intranet
in a fraction of the time it would have taken us to plan a custom solution."
"We're delighted to be the anchor tenant in a service that really
meets the needs of professional services firms," says Raymond Luk, CEO of
Opendesk. "vFirm's advantage is two-fold - a deep understanding of its
segment; and deep technical understanding of the future of ASPs and hosted
applications."
vFirm provides web-based applications that give the small business
professional an efficient, low cost and hassle-free alternative to
purchasing and hosting applications themselves. By partnering with leading
web-based application providers, vFirm has established a suite of
collaborative groupware (email, contacts, shared calendar, chat, etc.) along
with specialty applications (time & billing, accounting, etc.) that
enables firms to quickly set up a secure, fully integrated, web-based
virtual network giving co-workers 24-hour access to their information. vFirm
Systems is located in Reston, Virginia. For additional information on vFirm
