Office On Demand Chooses OpSource Billing to Manage Thousands of Daily Transactions

On-demand billing application automates billing process for thriving online business

Santa Clara, Calif., April 16, 2008 -- OpSource™ today announced that Office On Demand has selected OpSource Billing™ to on-board, manage and bill customers using their suite of small business and entrepreneurial services. OpSource Billing is an end-to-end subscription management, metering and payment solution available as a stand-alone service as well as an integrated component of OpSource On-Demand™. With thousands of transactions conducted daily, an automated billing solution will allow Office On Demand to efficiently and effectively bill its users, streamline processes and more quickly capture revenue.

Office On Demand chose OpSource Billing to deliver an enterprise-class billing solution – one that didn’t require the financial investment associated with buying and deploying a full software suite or building a proprietary solution.

Office On Demand’s CEO Jake Jacoby said, "Billing is a critical part of conducting business and OpSource’s straightforward and intuitive billing application helps Office On Demand reduce processing costs. OpSource Billing is a logical solution for a company like Office On Demand that needs to manage thousands of small business transactions directly from its Web site."

Office On Demand provides both free and low cost, Internet-based solutions designed to help small businesses grow and thrive in an increasingly competitive business environment. Office On Demand allows small business owners to take advantage of the proven marketing, communication, management and control solutions that were previously only been available to large enterprises. Office On Demand solutions are easy to set up and require no ongoing management or maintenance so small businesses can benefit from the solutions while at the same time avoiding the expense and hassle of administering these applications and technologies.

OpSource CEO Treb Ryan said, "Office On Demand and OpSource are both committed to providing technology and services that allow SaaS and Web companies to focus their resources on building strategic business value. OpSource Business Operations services, of which OpSource Billing is one, are all delivered as Web services which make them easily integrated into customer applications. Through the use of OpSource Business Operations services, SaaS companies can save as much as 50 percent of the cost of building a new application.

About Office On Demand
Small businesses consistently struggle against the advantages enjoyed by their larger competition. Increasingly threatened are the corner bookstores, travel agents, and independent restaurants that define the heart of each unique social and business culture. Today, all to often these small businesses’ survival strategies are reduced to targeting markets that the larger providers have neglected or have intentionally ignored. With the rise of mega-corporations and the ease in which international firms can enter any local market, the future of small business has implications both to local economies as well as the personal wealth of those determined individuals that choose to pursue their dream of running their own small business.

Many companies, primarily small businesses, seem to have been left behind in this time of profit-prosperity and are running much the same as they did ten, twenty, even thirty years earlier. We believe it’s because small businesses have not had the opportunity to effectively use technology to help grow their business. And rather than some lack insight or drive, there are some fundamental barriers that have stood in their way:

  1. Traditional solutions are expensive to buy and often very expensive to deploy.
  2. Impossible to spread the cost of these projects across departments and other "sponsors".
  3. No internal IT resources to own the problem.
  4. Less opportunity to share best practice information.

As more and more entrepreneurs are starting businesses either as supplements to their retirement plans or as a standard progression of their careers, knowing about these solutions and how they can enable small business owners to better compete in today’s market is valuable information that many will value. At Office On Demand, we value your trust and we look forward to providing management insights and the best of breed solutions that will help the community of small business owners around the globe better manage and grow their businesses.
