Asite and OpSource Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Software-as-a-Service Platform for the International Construction Industry

Scalability and Global Reach Key to Meeting Needs of the UK's
Leading SaaS Provider for Construction IT
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
OpSource(TM), the leader in Web operations, today announced a
strategic partnership with Asite Solutions, the provider of the
leading global Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for the
construction industry. Asite will use OpSource On-Demand(TM) to
support the delivery of their SaaS platform to an increasingly global
audience. Asite joins a growing list of international companies
selecting OpSource as their Web operations provider.

Asite delivers flexible construction IT solutions, including tools
for collaboration, trading and sourcing for use by construction
companies at every point in the supply chain. With its customers
requiring an increasing amount of data storage, and with the company
expanding geographically in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the USA,
Asite needed a company that could manage and provide dynamic
scalability for its SaaS infrastructure. Asite selected OpSource for
the scalability, reliability and 100 percent uptime necessary to
deploy the company's SaaS application to its growing customer base.

Nathan Doughty, COO of Asite, said, "Our relationship with
OpSource pairs like-minded companies seeking to push the boundaries of
innovation for SaaS application delivery and cloud computing, or
'hardware-as-a-service' infrastructure delivery. By partnering with
OpSource, we can rapidly expand our SaaS platform to meet our global
demand and focus more than ever on delivering innovation and the best
possible customer experience."

Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource, said, "Asite was developing SaaS
solutions even before they were being called SaaS. Selecting OpSource
On-Demand will enable them to meet the demands of their client base as
it grows - both geographically and in terms of the amount of data they
work with - while also providing intercontinental redundancy and
disaster recovery. We're honored to have earned Asite's trust as its
Web operations provider."
