Nasstar Hosted Desktop - work outside of the box

28 Mar 2007 Nasstar plc launches software broadcasting

Nasstar plc has launched its new software broadcasting system which provides access to all your business’s software and documents from any location.

Nasstar Desktop is a dynamic alternative to local software installation, and at the forefront of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revolution.  It removes the need for in-house servers and local-based software installation, providing instant global access to your desktop, on a pay-monthly basis.

The Nasstar Desktop was launched by Charles Black, chief executive officer of Nasstar plc, at Microsoft’s Reading campus on Tuesday, March 27.  Nasstar plc has obtained Gold Certified Partner status from Microsoft Limited for its specialisation of hosting solutions, as well as advanced infrastructure and mobility solutions.

During the launch, Martin Walker, UK Software-as-a-Service manager for Microsoft Ltd, provided an insight into Microsoft’s Software+Services strategy.

Mr Walker said: “The market is continuing to evolve and customers are looking for different ways for software to be procured and delivered.  Quite simply the old model of perpetual on-premise will not be going away, but it will be complimented by a range of services providing customers with the choice of licensing and delivery model to fit their requirements. 

“Nasstar Desktop is at the forefront of Software-as-a-Service, and provides businesses with a real alternative to on-site perpetual software delivery.”

Charles Black, chief executive officer of Nasstar plc, added: “We’re delighted to be launching at Microsoft and value the support they have given our service.  Microsoft is actively promoting Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Nasstar Desktop translates this concept into a real commercial service. 

“By subscribing to Nasstar Desktop, not only can a business avoid the upfront capital expenditure on technology, but management time is not diverted from the core business.”
