Apr, 2003 : Sitepak Launches Onsite Hosting Controller

📅 April 8, 2003 - Telecommunications software provider Sitepak (sitepak.com) announced on Tuesday that it has released its Onsite Hosting Controller (OHC), an automated provisioning, management and support platform that allows Telcos and ISPs to use their existing infrastructures to increase their presences in the SME hosting market.

Based on an open, standards-based architecture, says Sitepak, OHC provides a carrier-grade Web hosting solution with a single point of integration that eliminates the need for costly migrations of hosted customers, e-mail, e-commerce and other applications. OHC's control panel, says Sitepak, delegates routine tasks to end-users and lower-level support staff, helping hosting providers eliminate provisioning costs and enroll more SME customers.
According to Sitepak, Saskatchewan-based communications company SaskTel and Great Lakes region communications provider LDMI are among the early users of Sitepak's solution.
"Small and medium sized businesses are the foundation of economic growth. Offering Web hosting services is a gateway to a number of other critical business services," said Joe Ross, product manager of LDMI Telecommunications. "Sitepak's OHC will enable us to profitably compete for greater market share and help us increase the loyalty and lifetime value of our customers."
