HOUSTON, Jun 29, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ebaseOne Corporation (OTCBB:EBAS), an
emerging leader in the Application Infrastructure and Service Provider (AISP)
market, officially announced today its first fully operational Global Command
Center located in Houston. Images of ebaseOne's new global command center can be
viewed online at ebaseone.com.
The ebaseOne Global Command Center (GCC) is one of the most sophisticated
network operation facilities servicing customers in the AISP industry. The
ebaseOne Global Command Center enables the company's top-notch technical staff
to proactively manage many types of communications and applications navigating
through its SONET IP-based network. The GCC is an 18,000 square foot facility
that provides customers with applications management, monitoring, provisioning,
security, back-up, recovery and billing solutions supported by the company's top
tier technology providers, including Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO), Sun Microsystems
(Nasdaq:SUNW), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP), Marimba (Nasdaq:MRBA), Portal
Software (Nasdaq:PRSF) and Narus.
"The opening of our initial state-of-the-art Global Command Center is yet
another successful milestone in the execution of our business plan and a clear
representation of our commitment to superior customer service and exceptional
network and applications management," states Charles Skamser, president and CEO
of ebaseOne Corporation. "Having toured many of our competitors' facilities, I
consider our initial GCC to be among the very finest in the industry and
definitely a competitive advantage to attract new clients and employee talent.
Therefore, I would like to publicly thank David Tippett, vice president of
technical operations for ebaseOne, and his staff, for getting this complex
construction project done on time and under budget. If the way in which this
initial facility was completed is any future indication, I am confident that our
additional centers will easily be completed as planned," adds Skamser.
The new network operations facility significantly enhances the company's ability
to continue to outpace the industry in providing exceptional service for its
expanding customer base. This facility allows ebaseOne the ability to
efficiently provision additional systems and maximize availability while
performing at optimal levels. The GCC is fully operational, physically manned
around the clock and protected by the latest in biometric access control
systems, security guards and IP-based video surveillance.
The new center officially began managing all of the company's and its customer's
applications and operations on April 17, 2000, after the initial groundbreaking
in early March. Through an accelerated design phase the facility reached
completion within an unprecedented six weeks.
Jim O'Neal, president of Facilities Design of Houston, designed the new Global
Command Center. "ebaseOne's excellent management team and their direct
involvement allowed us to bring this phenomenal center to fruition under extreme
deadlines," says O'Neal.
David Conine, vice president of Constructors Inc. coordinated and supervised the
construction of the project.
One of my goals for the center was to not only build what I consider to be one
of the finest facilities of its kind, but also create an environment conducive
to optimal productivity for our employees who manage this 24 hour operation.
This facility provides an outstanding work environment for our growing technical
operations and customer service staff," says David Tippett, vice president of
technical operations.
"It's amazing what we have accomplished in the last 9 months. In November of
1999, with the $9 million in the bank we had just raised, I asked my technical
team to build our initial world-class data center, our initial state-of-the-art
global command center, outfit both facilities with the best technology and
software and hire the technical staff necessary to become a leading provider in
the ASP industry," indicates Skamser. "I think that they have more than
accomplished their mission," adds Skamser.
