Why Website Management ?
Website management means that after your website is designed and implemented, we will continue to manage the hosting and application that you use to update your website. Website management provides you, the customer with a certainty. http://www.acn.net.au/ebusinessguide/maintain.htm. If you choose not to utilize website management services, you will need to organize a compatible hosting account with asp.net and MS SQL database.
Businesses can be at the mercy of computer programmers who charge by the hour. To put it plainly, there is no financial incentive to produce quality software if the client wants to own it and pays by the hour for development and support. The more problems a system has, the more money a client is charged. Software development becomes a never ending money pit.
With a fully managed application, there are no hidden surprises and clients get all the benefits of a quality software solution that is fully guaranteed by professional support. It is the developer that takes the risk and who must ensure that the system provided is robust, suitable for the clients needs and properly coded.
Quality software takes time to develop, refine and test. Licencing is a way that the cost of software development is shared. The client gets a much better deal under licencing than the uncertainty of developing software by the hour from scratch. The benefits of licencing can be compared to the buying a plane ticket instead of a plane when you need to travel. The cost of a ticket is far cheaper than the cost of fixing, maintaining, staffing and storing a plane. In the same way, hiring developers to produce software that is theoretically owned, is far more expensive than renting an application through a licencing agreement. Software development is risky unless the developers have a vested interest in producing quality solutions. If you get average developers, you will end up with shoddy software riddled with problems that will cost you lots of money to fix. Clients need to make a business decision based on whether the application provided, the price and the terms of the licencing agreement will deliver a cost benefit to their business. Not all licencing agreements are satisfactory.
Our software is not the same as packaged software that you buy from a shop. We fully customize a solution to fit the needs of a client.
With our website management, clients know what they are getting and how much they will pay for the service. If they no longer wish to use the service, they can move the content of their website to another content management system by terminating the agreement on 30 days notice or they can request (on payment of a modest fee) that their website be converted to static HTML, which can be hosted on most webservers.
Passion Computing feel that a website management service is absolutely essential. It is computing with confidence. Our licencing fee is not expensive and our service and commitment to excellence is driven by personal integrity.
