Unanet Technologies, Centrivity Partner to Create Web-Based Work Force Optimization Offering

Innovative Approach Exploits ASP Business Model
to Deliver Significant Cost Savings to SME Marketplace

FAIRFAX, Virginia - Unanet Technologies, a pioneer in professional services automation (www.unanet.com) has partnered with Centrivity, the most effective IT services provider (www.centrivity.com), to deliver an entirely web-based workforce optimization software suite to the small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) marketplace.

The Unanet, Centrivity partnership draws on the unique strengths and proven track records of both firms. Unanet's Professional Services Automation (PSA) suite of Resource Management, Time & Expense, and Project Management software modules sit on the desk tops of clients ranging from La-z-boy to The Titan Corporation, while Centrivity's managed hosting, Internet services, and network design and integration efforts have been successfully implemented for clients ranging from AT&T to the U.S. House of Representatives.

"The Application Service Provider (ASP) model is ideal for any company that wants to control costs and expand functionality, especially SME and rapid growth companies that need the same capabilities as large organizations," explained John Wu, President and CEO of Centrivity. "What this partnership has done is bring sophisticated applications to a market that previously had neither the money nor the skills to implement."

The two firms have taken a truly innovative approach to pooling their expertise and creating a successful and profitable ASP offering. Unanet Technologies provides the front-end software components while Centrivity provides the backend platform, database, operating system and connectivity. Unanet CEO Fran Craig explains, "We have been selling an enterprise version of our Unanet PSA software suite since 1998. Partnering with Centrivity has enabled us address the SME market with an ASP model that saves this market segment at least 90 percent in paper processing costs and exhibits improvements in the bottom line in excess of 10 percent."

Currently there are 11 client companies for a total of more than 700 user licenses on the ASP version of Unanet PSA. Nova Technologies, Inc. was the first joint customer of Centrivity and Unanet. John McBride, Chief Operations Officer at Nova Technologies sites, "We moved from a manual timesheet and billing system to Unanet because we wanted to focus on our core business. Unanet's Web-based solution reduced the time and effort our management staff spent collecting time and expenses and preparing financial reports by over 90 percent, allowing them to offer more attention to our customers. While Nova is a small business, our customers believe our performance and financial management is superior to many large businesses."

The ASP-version of Unanet PSA is easy to acquire, implement, and use. "Unanet's hosted Web-based solution was online and fully operational in less than a month without the upfront investment in people, time and technology," said McBride. "We believe the hosted service is secure and reliable, and Unanet takes care of all the system administration and product updates. We think it's GREAT!"
