ISVs can work on products from the ground up in an online developer sandbox, enabling them to confirm architectural design, conduct 'Proof of Concepts' and receive feedback from potential customers.

Once its ready for market, the product can be seamlessly transitioned online within PEER 1's managed hosting infrastructure. These services can help cut IT spending and consolidate resources needed for SaaS applications, says PEER 1. As the product and company grows, the SaaS3 program provides consultation and a fully scalable network to support it.
