Benefits Of ASP Delivery

Innovation First Notice is acting as an “ASP” when it delivers its ClaimCapture™ intake application to a client call center via a Web browser. What’s an ASP? It’s a company that develops, hosts, monitors, and maintains a software application for its customers. Application Service Providers (ASPs for short) are made possible by the Internet and have risen to prominence in the IT world over the last couple years. Why? Because they eliminate the three major challenges of implementing new technology in-house:

1. high up-front investment in buying a software license or developing an application from scratch
2. difficulty in hiring/retaining in-house IT staff to install and manage the software
3. high cost of building and growing the hardware infrastructure to support the application

Easy on the Wallet

Innovation First Notice has developed ClaimCapture not as a software package that you buy and install on company servers, but one that you simply use from any Web browser. You don’t need to worry about the payback date from a long-term technology investment or a price tag that’s beyond your budget, you just pay as you use the product. There’s no up-front anything.

Easy on the Staff

Information Technology staff members are some of the busiest people in insurance and healthcare today. The last thing they need is another application to integrate, support and maintain. Because ClaimCapture is a hosted service, we take care of all those worries for you. First Notice even provides in-depth training to make sure your CSRs are expert users right out of the gate.

Easy to Scale

Growth is a good thing right? It means that you’re realizing more benefit and greater returns from the Innovation First Notice service. But what if that growth means you need more servers or rack space or database licenses or your bandwidth is tapped out? Relax. We host and maintain all the hardware infrastructure for you. As your system needs grow, our hosted architecture grows along with them. And upgrades? First Notice can upgrade the application at any time—completely transparent to your users and with no effort from your IT staff.

Easy to Get Going

With no software to install or servers to buy/set up, Innovation First Notice’s offering is extremely fast to implement.
