Services/Web Site Development - asp & vendor evaluation

Whether you need an email newsletter, blog, membership management system, content management system, ecommerce or other interactive functionality, an Application Service Provider (ASP) can provide a more rapid and cost-effective solution than custom programming.

Stellar Communications has helped a number of clients with research, evaluation and selection of ASPs and/or programmers for their web sites. Our method involves:

documenting client needs and budgetary factors
researching the key providers that meet those needs
presenting a vendor comparison matrix with at least three choices
discussing the pros and cons of each vendor and
making recommendations on providers

We're not just consultants who recommend solutions — we often also work as a liaison between our clients and ASPs or programmers to fully implement the selected solution.

The benefits of working with an ASP (vs. custom programming) to add functionality to a web site include:

faster launch and implementation schedule
highly reduced testing/feedback cycles
less expense
readily available support with guaranteed availability (i.e. no downtime)
free and/or low-cost upgrades

But we also understand that sometimes only custom programming will work for your needs.
