PaperChaser.com Chooses ebaseOne to Host the iPaperChaser.com Electronic Litigation Document Management Portal
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1999--ebaseOne Corporation (OTC BB: EBAS), an emerging leader in the Application Service Provider (ASP) market for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that PaperChaser.com, Incorporated has chosen it to host the iPaperChaser.com electronic litigation document management portal. iPaperChaser.com will enable legal professionals to store their electronic case documents in a secure and centralized location, and then access and manage these documents from their desktops and laptops via the Internet or private leased lines.
"Our partnership with ebaseOne is key to our strategy of quickly becoming the industry standard for Internet-based litigation document management," says Lee Solomon, president and CEO of PaperChaser.com, Incorporated. "With the power of ebaseOne's international fiber-optic network and its state-of-the-art centralized computer center, our customers will be able to access and manage their case documents from a desktop PC or a laptop from anywhere in the world. I truly believe that the days of lugging hundreds of boxes of paper are gone," says Solomon.
"ebaseOne is excited to have the opportunity to host and manage iPaperChaser, PaperChaser.com's innovative litigation support portal," said Charles Skamser, president and chief executive officer of ebaseOne Corporation. "ebaseOne has the high quality hosting infrastructure, worldwide network support, security and 24x7x365 application monitoring systems required to support PaperChaser.com's demanding requirements. I think that it's an exciting partnership between two emerging high-tech leaders," adds Skamser.
ebaseOne's worldwide network, designed especially for today's demanding web-enabled applications, provides the end-to-end solution that PaperChaser.com sought when looking to outsource the hosting of iPaperchaser.com. ebaseOne will take care of all IT related issues for iPaperChaser.com, including around-the-clock application monitoring, security, software upgrades, and more.
With a rapidly growing national presence, PaperChaser.com also required quick, secure and reliable connectivity to its services. ebaseOne's agreements with Level 3 Communications, Cisco and a multitude of "last mile" local service providers will enable PaperChaser.com to ensure state-of-the-art and unabated connectivity almost anywhere in the world.
"Most of the law firms and legal departments that PaperChaser.com works with don't really have the desire to maintain an IT infrastructure or the technical personnel required to properly support our software in a true client/server model," indicates Michael Saltsman, chief technology officer and co-founder of PaperChaser.com. In addition, getting additional documents to remote locations has always been a challenge. ebaseOne's ASP hosting model was the perfect solution to this problem," says Saltsman. "Outsourcing iPaperChaser.com's hosting and management responsibilities to ebaseOne enables us to focus on our core business," Saltsman continued, "providing the applications and services that our customers need to get their cases handled in a cost-effective and efficient manner."
About the ASP Market
According to Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR), the packaged applications outsourcing industry will reach $21 billion in 2001. International Data Corp. also estimates that corporate spending on high-end outsourced applications, such as ERP and e-commerce, will grow from an estimated $150.4 million this year to $2 billion by 2003, at a compound annual growth rate of 91%. This represents only high-end applications, and doesn't take into account the majority of software applications currently used by most businesses.
The ASP model, applied by companies such as ebaseOne, with its inherent cost savings and bundled with best practices training, could therefore become an extremely attractive solution for the small and medium-sized business market. For the first time, businesses may be able to afford almost everything they need to streamline their operations, up to the most complex enterprise-wide software applications on the market.
