HONOLULU, HI--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 30, 2008 -- Phase 2 International, a leader in the Software as a Service industry (SaaS), announced its partnership with Aria Systems, the primary supplier of on-demand billing and lifecycle management choices. The combined ingenuity of two industry leaders aims to maximize service and care for SaaS customers, with Aria Systems supporting its software catalogue and catering to its discerning business clientele.

Given the delicate state of the US economy, the joined forces of Phase 2 International and Aria offers businesses Microsoft Project web access while minimizing costs and maximizing potential profits. This software-for-rent model, or on-demand computing, allows businesses to steer clear of the cost and stress of owning software services that often entail large cash expenditures for hardware and software improvements.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates recognizes the critical role that the hosted Microsoft Project server plays in the global marketplace. "With Microsoft Online Services, businesses can deploy software as a subscription service, from servers they manage on-site, or a combination of the two, depending on their specific needs."

Taking into consideration Aria's dominance in the market place, overseeing and maintaining over 1 million accounts, it is no surprise that Aria has processed more than 1 billion transactions since the company began offering its wide-range of services in 2003. Working together with Phase 2 International ventures such as hosted MS Project will create further efficiency for customers. This data is reflected in the 2006 Forrester Research survey that concluded that companies with IT needs for 100-499 staff members SaaS remained a sound fiscal choice.

Businesses are able to take advantage of the comprehensive services of this new power duo with a thirty-day money back guarantee. Customers also benefit from customized support with Phase 2 International's expert staff on hand to trouble shoot issues as they arise.

Kevin Doherty, CEO of Phase 2 International, summed up the visceral connect and service his company brings to the new partnership with Aria in a recent email. "The human approach to technology is very powerful, something that we at Phase 2 have been focusing on heavily."
