Peregrine Systems, the provider of infrastructure management solutions, is to offer fleet management outsourcing services with e.fleet, a native Internet-based version of FleetAnywhere, the fleet management software solution.
FleetAnywhere helps organisations manage and track maintenance for fleets of vehicles and other mobile motorised equipment. e.fleet allows FleetAnywhere to run via the Internet, connecting to servers housed and maintained in Peregrine`s offices. Peregrine handles the server setup, software upgrades, backup and maintenance of the servers, leaving the customer responsible only for installation of the desktop portion of FleetAnywhere on its workstations.
"e.fleet offers outstanding functionality and takes advantage of today`s technologies," says Gregg Jacobs, VP Sales for FleetAnywhere. "With the trend in application outsourcing, more companies are looking to minimise their involvement in server administration, and the e.fleet configuration offers an attractive and cost-effective alternative for FleetAnywhere users."
Clients using the e.fleet configuration include organisations such as the New Jersey Transit, the counties of Waukesha, Wisconsin and Shasta, California, and the cities of Walnut Creek and Vacaville, California.
"As we enter the Web-hosted application market, we are taking our first steps as a complete Peregrine Systems supplied offering, but we do expect to work with partners to provide e.fleet and other Web-hosted applications from our infrastructure management suite of products," says Steve Spitzer, VP and GM of alliances for Peregrine.
"e.fleet is a valuable tool for delivering the benefits of our transportation infrastructure solutions to customers who are prepared to use the Web for a daily business application access. Over time, we will see the majority of our applications offered in this way. Web-hosted application delivery is an interesting alternative for certain customers for a wide range of applications," adds Rick Berzle, VP of marketing.
