Hosting Services 3 Tier Systems provides software based on a timeshare computing model. Other vendors sell shrink-wrap software that must be installed and configured on a server, which is then collocated at an ISP. The traditional process takes weeks or months to complete. Using 3 Tier Systems' preconfigured servers, a customer can activate the software within minutes and start content development immediately. There is no need to capitalize hardware. 3 Tier Systems completely eliminates the need for technical support for local installation and configuration ("up and running support" is the largest support cost). 3 Tier Systems, Inc. 4275 Executive Square Suite 800 La Jolla, CA 92037 858-292-0322 [email protected]
