MID AMERICA COMPUTER CORP. TO PROVIDE ASP BILLING SOLUTION
(BLAIR, NE - September 1, 2004) - Mid America Computer Corp. (MACC)
today announced it will implement and host an Application Service
Provider-modeled (ASP) billing solution for several new customers later
this year. The announcement coincides with the signing of several new
clients in Pennsylvania who will utilize this service.
“Demand is clearly growing for ASP solutions, and our decision to
provide it has created an opportunity for us to deliver the features and
service capabilities our customers need,” said MACC president Rod
Christenson.
As the Enterprise ASP host for MACC’s Customer Master suite, MACC
will provide direct access—via the Internet and utilizing an interface
to clients’ Terminal Server—to all necessary functionality to perform
comprehensive customer care and billing services for subscribers,
including:
o Service Order entry
o E-911
o Plant records maintenance
o MAPCOM interface
o Directory maintenance and publishing
o Trouble reporting
o Equal Access monitoring and Carrier management
o Security Deposit
o Receivables
o Credit History
o Robust on-board reporting and optional Custom Reports
MACC will provide a fee-based ASP solution involving no up-front costs
apart from standard training and conversion fees. According to
Christenson, “We understand that not all business models accentuate
ownership of software and server architecture. Using today’s
Internet-based hosting solutions and with MACC’s advanced experience and
expertise in networking technology, our clients need not be committed to
a high initial investment in software and the hardware that runs it. The
ASP solution defers startup IT costs over time in favor of a low-cost
system implementation.”
