Etology and Visual Mining are the latest in a long list of on-demand companies turning to OpSource and its innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) enablement solution.

OpSource's Optimal On-Demand is a turnkey, scalable service delivery solution that is priced on-demand and offers a 100% availability guarantee.
"The cost to build the kind of infrastructure necessary to deliver our on-demand marketplace for web advertising would be far too prohibitive for a start-up like Etology," said Jesse Liu, President of Etology. "We are serving up ads on a global, 24x7 basis. Therefore, downtime is simply not acceptable Strong security is also absolutely essential to ensure safe online transactions. OpSource understands our business model and has a complete infrastructure in place to meet these demanding requirements. They've also made it easy for us to roll out our services very affordably. Most managed services companies have a bandwidth charge or monthly fee. With OpSource's unit-based pricing, we pay only for the number of ads we serve. So, their success is tied to our success. We can also rely on OpSource to provide our customers with 24x7 call center support, which is an incredible advantage in building customer satisfaction and loyalty. Time and again, OpSource has demonstrated a passion for service that is rare in the business world today."
"We estimate OpSource has saved Visual Mining on-demand start up costs of over a quarter of a million dollars in critical time and resources," noted Michael MacDonald, CEO and founder of Visual Mining. "We would not have made our budget or time-to-market goals without them."
"OpSource offers the complete package of infrastructure capabilities and services a company like ours needs," continued MacDonald. "Our on-demand business intelligence solution required a seamless integration with salesforce.com and OpSource, being the only certified SaaS infrastructure for salesforce.com, was a perfect fit.
