ebaseOne Achieves Cisco Powered Network ASP Designation

ebaseOne Corporation, an emerging leader in the Application Infrastructure and Service Provider (AISP) market, announced that it is now delivering SalesLogix CRM solutions to its customers in a Cisco Powered Network designated configuration. ebaseOne is one of a few Application Service Providers (ASPs) to have achieved this designation now being granted by Cisco Systems exclusively for ASPs as part of the Cisco Hosted Applications Initiative. The Cisco Powered Network ASP designation launched in the fall of last year, is targeted towards ASPs that want to differentiate their hosted applications service offerings and provide customers with a higher level of reliability, security, manageability and quality of service.

"We are extremely pleased to have received this designation by Cisco, which has been a top priority for ebaseOne," says Charles Skamser, president and CEO of ebaseOne Corporation. "This designation furthers our strategy to offer customers the highest level of service in the industry," adds Skamser.

Wide-scale application hosting across the Internet demands an intelligent, end-to-end network infrastructure to satisfy customer expectations for integration, reliability, security, and performance. ebaseOne achieved the Cisco Powered Network ASP designation through a complete assessment of their end-to-end Cisco network infrastructure and specific business application design elements. The Cisco Hosted Applications lab was used to verify that the application connectivity and reliability meet the Cisco Powered Network benchmarking requirements. ebaseOne completed exhaustive testing in Cisco's lab before emerging with the designation. To qualify for this ASP designation, ebaseOne was required to verify that the application connectivity and reliability was within the boundary required by the Cisco Hosted Applications lab benchmark and that they are using Cisco Powered Network designated service providers for connectivity.

"The Cisco Powered Network ASP designation gives customers another way to choose an ASP that best fits their business needs and meets their standards of performance, security and reliability," said Eugene Lee, vice president of marketing for Cisco's Applications Technology Group. "ebaseOne is amongst the first ASPs to have achieved this designation by demonstrating a dedicated focus on providing customers with the highest levels of performance based on a Cisco intelligent networking infrastructure."

ASPs that are Cisco Powered Network certified are committed to maintaining high levels of network quality, and designated ASPs are authorized to use the CPN brand logo and have access to joint marketing programs and promotions.
