CATSWeb On-Demand Solutions:
Manage your business. Not your software.^TM

Innovative companies know that success comes from focusing on core competencies. Activities that do not directly add value to the final product or service are best outsourced to key vendors and strategic partners. Internet technology has now evolved to a point where companies can outsource one more activity: developing, maintaining, and delivering manufacturing software solutions.

AssurX provides innovative companies with an alternative easy-to-use, secure, and reliable enterprise quality solution that is accessed over the Internet for a low flexible fee -- monthly, quarterly or yearly. Key features and benefits include:

Lower Costs - AssurX OnDemand Solutions are available for a low, pay-as-you-go fee. You have the option of monthly, quarterly or yearly payment options. The large up-front cost of traditional purchased software applications is a thing of the past.

Rapid Deployment - AssurX applications can be fully configured and available to your users within days of signing up for the service. No complex, time-consuming, and expensive server and client installations are required.

No System Administration - Traditional purchased software applications must be managed and administered by qualified information systems personnel. AssurX performs these functions for you, freeing you and your staff to focus on your company's core competencies.

Ubiquitous Access - Extend the workplace beyond the plant and office. Work anytime, anywhere that you have an Internet connection.

Built-in metrics and User-configurable Dashboards - CATSWeb OnDemand solution comes with a built-in charting and report feature that allows you to view, modify and add reports without having to install and learn 3rd party reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, Business Objects, Cognos, etc. Your dashboards and metrics enable you to monitor key performance indicators and drill down to the underlying data in real-time, all the time.

Integration with Other Systems - Integrate the CATSWeb OnDemand system with your other processes via a comprehensive, secure Web Services interface. Improve efficiencies by connecting to parts, supplier or customer lists. Provide drill-down capabilities to your internal records and data. Integrate processes to provide a seamless user experience.

With our data import functionality, you can import just about anything!

Minimal Client Hardware Requirements - AssurX applications can be accessed from any computer, on any operating system, on any Web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Netscape) and an Internet connection. Any connected PDA or Smartphone that has a browser will work too. Other systems only function on a single browser.

Real-time, Free Upgrades - Upgrades and new features are automatically and transparently available to your users as soon as they are released. No installation is required. AssurX upgrades new features several times a year -- most based on customer feedback and requests.

Security Without Compromise - 24/7/365
Your manufacturing data may include trade secrets which are competitive advantages for your firm. We understand how critical and sensitive your data is. All of our applications are delivered through managed firewalls in the SAS 70 Type II certified data centers via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the standard security protocol used for e-commerce on the Internet. Our engineers constantly monitor the firewalls and keep current on industry best practices, updating security policies as necessary to fend off attacks from "hackers" and other unauthorized users. Your data is confidential, available only to you and selected AssurX technical support personnel (on an as-needed basis to provide support for you and your users).

Freedom from Technical Headaches
Manufacturing is challenging enough without having to worry about computer, network, or software problems. Keeping up with the never ending cycle of upgrades and service packs in traditional software systems is a significant resource drain. Even routine administration tasks such as performing daily system backups, monitoring system performance, etc. take time and energy that could best be spent on your core competencies. Partnering with AssurX eliminates all these technical burdens and headaches.
