Enterprise Content Management (ECM) consists of a broad collection of disciplines that enable a business to create, acquire, store, index, deliver and delete a wide variety of content. It is a critical part of information technology, providing the ability for businesses to access structured information, meet legal and compliance requirements and serve customers. From a basic paper-based filing system to state-of-the-art electronic asset storage, ECM is essential to any business. The Datalynks ASP Model (Application Service Provider) has been created to address these ever-demanding issues and make the process as simple as possible. Our ASP Model is the most cost-effective alternative to Digital Document Management in the Industry.

Datalynks customers access their information from any computer connected to the internet. All users are given a link, user name, and password in order to ensure a secure connection. ABS DataLynks servers are using 128 bit SSL encryption technology and all data passed to the end user is encrypted before it is sent. With Datalynks, our customers can be assured that security and privacy are our top priorities.

Why ASP?

• For small to medium size businesses, the biggest advantage is low cost of entry and, in most cases, an extremely short set-up time.

• The pay-as-you-go model is often significantly less expensive for all.

• The ASP model eliminates expensive IT head count and specialized IT infrastructure for the application as well as supporting applications.

• The ASP model can shift Internet bandwidth to the ASP, who can often provide it at lower cost.

ABS' staff ensures that all customer data resides on dedicated Datalynks servers. In addition to providing 24/7 access to information, the associated databases and data are implemented into a routine back-up schedule. Data is replicated to tape and/or WORM media for disaster recovery. To help take this process 1 step further, data is also replicated to two additional Data Centers across the United States.

• Backups, upgrades and application maintenance are all handled by the ASP data center staff.

• Any electronic information can be stored and utilized. This includes e-commerce and web sites, legacy data, virtual file hosts and content management data.

• As the costs grow, it becomes nearly impossible for a small business to afford to purchase, maintain and support growing needs. The ASP makes this possible and affordable.

• Without an ASP solution, common problems include physical storage requirements, costs of software, IT staff requirements, managing growth, upgrades, media and hardware purchases, and backup scheduling and implementation.
