Many companies are moving to decentralized models. In-house staffing is a problem with technology employee shortages. Outsourcing of non-core competencies is still in vogue. Besides, many of you do not want to invest to reinvent infrastructure and applications already available off the shelf.

All applications automate applications that directly touch employees.
Some examples include timesheet reporting and tracking, expense reporting, sales forecasting, order entry and purchase requisition management. All applications require only a Web browser for use. All applications may be used anywhere and at any time. All applications can be set up in less than 24 hours for a new company. All come with no long-term commitments, which are typically required in other ASP environments.
