Ten years ago, very few managers would consider ‘subscribing’ to their mission critical technology solutions over the Internet like they were subscribing to cable television or the telephone company. Security issues, Internet delivery issues, ‘lack of control’ issues were typically provided as rationale. But over that period, industry has experienced fundamental transformations in how products are marketed, sold, manufactured, delivered and serviced.

Today, the Internet is ubiquitous and is being used for highly time and security-sensitive transactions, collaborative commerce and complex supply chains are the norm and new tools like ManaSyst's remote Desktop Host are in use to allow for ease of connectivity between applications and companies. As a result, there is a new movement to leverage these capabilities to re-think how software applications are delivered to end-users at lower cost with better service.
