Campground Manager Online ASP
What is an ASP?
ASP stands for Application Service Provider. In essence, an ASP remotely hosts and manages a software application. If you are a small or mid-sized campground or RV park, the ASP approach to content management may make sense in a way that alternative approaches do not. Here are some of its advantages.
The total maintenance of your application is handled round-the-clock by your provider. Who better to do this than the company who wrote the software? In this case Campground Manager Software® will provide the service.
Not only is the technical side of maintaining your Campground Manager Software® handled by us, but so is the support side—helpdesk and support costs are therefore cut significantly. And with every user on the same latest version of the application, costs related to supporting outdated versions are entirely eliminated.
All in all, the total cost of operating Campground Manager Software® through our ASP model is typically around 40% of comparable installed solutions. Though, again, depending on your establishment’s demands, the overall savings may be even more dramatic.
Key Features and Benefits
Speed of Deployment
It’s not hard to see how the Campground Manager Software® ASP solution can be up and running well before an installed solution can be set-up, and long before a homemade solution can even get off the ground. There is nothing to install, no hardware to configure, and certainly no application to develop and test. The time-consuming and resource-intensive process of distributing, installing, and meticulously configuring an application on many computers becomes a thing of the past. An ASP can start being used by your employees literally within days, if not hours. Compare that to weeks or months for alternative solutions.
Speed of Software Development
With the Campground Manager Software® ASP, there’s no more waiting around for software patches or critical upgrades. Even better, there’s no need to find the time to install them, since all upgrades are performed instantly and seamlessly by Campground Manager Software® and who better to handle those critical—or just incredibly useful—upgrades than the people who developed the application in the first place?
The Campground Manager Software® ASP solution means that your content creators will never be working with different versions of the same application, so backward-compatibility will never be an issue. Obsolescence becomes obsolete.
Not only will updates go through effortlessly and painlessly, they can go through much more rapidly. With your content management application hosted remotely and managed by the people who know it best, the system is able to undergo changes much more quickly than an installed, on-site system could ever allow.
Innovations can be implemented virtually right away. The incorporation of improvements and the detection and elimination of bugs can be effected immediately. Your Campground Manager Software doesn’t just change—it actually evolves.
And you, the end user, can guide its evolution in a way previously unimagined. By making recommendations for the tailoring of the application to better meet your needs, you allow the developers and designers to make improvements they might not otherwise have made. And, since those improvements can be applied so rapidly under the ASP model, the feedback cycle is compressed. Only the fittest versions survive.
Worldwide Access
The Campground Manager Software® ASP solution delivered over the Internet is, naturally, accessible round-the-clock from any Internet-enabled computer that has Citrix login software. This means that your content management system is at your users’ fingertips no matter where they are, and no matter what time it is. Content can be added or updated immediately, when it needs to be.
The full communicative power of the Internet is yours when you use an Campground Manager Software® ASP solution to content management.
Security
Your application is always available as long as a reliable internet connection to the database can be maintained. You never again have to worry about your IT professionals falling sick, going on vacation, or jumping ship, thereby rendering content management impossible.
Your relationship with Campground Manager® ASP does not end once the deal is finalized. You subscribe to ongoing support and service, and you are guaranteed to receive it. In this way, you remain in much closer contact to your Campground Manager Software®, and therefore in better control of your CMS, than customers of traditional, out-of-the-box solution vendors.
Many companies already outsource the hosting of their website, and for good reasons: increased security, ensured uptime, and expert support. The same reasons apply to outsourcing your content management system. Outsourcing your content management system to a third party provides you and your data with an extra level of security.
It only makes sense. After all, who better to manage the application that manages your content than the company who developed it?
With its minimal TCO(total cost of ownership), lightning-quick deployment, rapidity of system updates and upgrades, round-the-clock support, and increased security, an ASP is a truly formidable option for managing your website’s content. Even if it had none of these benefits, its convenience and accessibility would still make it a prime contender in the content management arena.
But, with all of its advantages, the Campground Manager Software® Application Service Provider solution rises well above what the competition can offer. For small and medium-sized campgrounds and RV parks, it’s an attractive option.
