StraightBUY is offered as an Application Service Provider (ASP) Solution. This means that it is a "hosted" solution as StraightSELL resides on the StraightBUY servers owned by Strategic Ecommerce.

The major advantage of this model of software delivery to the market is that it allows businesses of all sizes to access state-of-the-art software at low cost rather than design, develop and support the software internally.

Apart from extremely low upfront and ongoing costs of choosing StraightBUY, there are many other advantages:

• StraightBUY is ready to be used on day one upon your acceptance of its uptake
  
• Low Infrastructure Requirements - servers, firewalls, increased bandwidth are not required beyond what we provide for you
  
• Minimal Staffing Cost - staff are not required to maintain StraightBUY. Strategic Ecommerce looks after hardware, back ups, monitoring and other network issues
  
• Continuity of service - Strategic Ecommerce has resources dedicated to keeping your StraightBUY system online and available to your customers
  
• Security needs taken care of - although most solutions will use standard security such as SSL for communication the real issue is network and application security. Strategic Ecommerce dedicates significant resources to ensure that your data is protected.

Some of the other advantages:

• Low cost of entry, and predictable cost over time
  
• Setup time under one day, and ready to be used almost immediately
  
• No need for IT support for implementation, user support, maintenance or technology upgrades
  
• Savings on internal server use
