*Slide Thought StartersExperience is crucial and industry leadership vitalquestion, can these folks do what they say?62 customers with over 135,000 users onlineAccess to 30+ Data Centers world-wideStrategically positioned CyberCentersSM and 3.4 million miles of the most advanced networkFirst ASP to comply with rigid standards of SAS 70 and receive awarded the advanced Type II CertificationFirst to publish a written performance commitmentOne of the few ASPs that has a cadre of application specialists available not only to enable the ASP offerings, but also available for your staff augmentation requirements


*Thought StartersLeveraging QCS leading ASP offering provides clients with a model that they can use to revolutionize their business. Heres one example.To exceed their competitors and achieve time-to-market benefit our customers requireCreate unique advantage, yielding wealth and benefits for their stakeholders (e.g., employees, customers partners and shareholders)Companies like DaimlerChrysler, are embracing the ASP model to achieve these benefits

Lets take a look at some additional industry drivers that you may be facing

Additional ThoughtsInsert points here*Thought StartersAdditional challenges businesses face that are minimized or eliminated by an ASPEven the most advanced software today requires levels of integration with your existing systems or others that come from different vendors. Time, effort and money are spent to achieve this goalLeveraging existing investment in ERP technology and extending beyond the enterprise to partners and customers often is elusive or impossible/impracticalShortage of internal resources and unpredictable costs associated with staff, implementations, maintenance and IT operations plague many businessesAccelerating the time to recognize benefit from an IT system why wait on average 18-24 months for an implementation to complete before you see a tangible return to the businessTechnology advances often out-pace its depreciable life causing you to spend more money, more often and never completely getting full value for the investmentUp until now most companies do not have the luxury of a performance guarantee from their existing IT department or systems provider. In-house resources do the best they can but rarely achieve systems availability beyond 95-96%. The QCS ASP offering can take this to 99.99%All of these business limiting issues impact a companys ability to be revolutionary in its approach to the market.Revolutionaries recognize the competition is between competing business concepts. And looking for opportunities from a different perspective. Lets look at some examples*Thought StartersThere are numerous examples of businesses re-inventing and redefining themselves, their marketplace and competitive positioning.Nokia, a company known best in Scandinavia for its paper products and rubber boots up until 1992 when Jorma Ollica divested itself of these products to focus on a revolutionary set of digital products.Starbucks revolutionized the coffee business offering quality and a unique caf approach to differentiate its gourmet blend of coffee. McDonalds is opening their first copy of this approach next month.Other examples of revolutionary concepts include:Internet Telephony and E-mailInternet shopping,stocks, mortgages to insurancenot to mention all the Amazon like productsQwest Revolutionary thinking is in our blood

Qwest StoryIn the late 1980's and early 1990's, the period Anschutz operated the Southern Pacific railroad, it founded SP Telecom to lay fiber optic cable along railroad rights-of-way. In 1995, SP Telecom was spun out of Southern Pacific, its headquarters moved to Denver, and renamed Qwest Communications. Today Qwest is an Internet Communications company providing scalable, broadband Internet-based data, voice and image communications for businesses and consumers. The Qwest Macro Capacity Fiber Network, designed with the newest optical networking equipment for speed and efficiency, spans more than 104,000 miles globally. In June 2000, Qwest merged with USWest, a regional bell operating company. In addition, KPNQwest, Qwest's European joint venture with KPN, the Dutch telecommunications company, is operating and continuing to build a high-capacity European fiber-optic, Internet-based network. *Thought StartersOur heritage as a revolutionary leader drove us to create the most comprehensive offering for our unique customer set.Close relationships with the best IT solution vendorsNot just maximizing ROI but creating new wealth for companies and their stock-holdersSeamless, like a communications network with multiple vendors, multiple platforms, multiple mediumsall responding in concert with your needsScalability and Reliability, unrivaled by in-house systems todayStandard, Predictable and Affordable Service
