New Perspective Offers Clients Fully Designed and Hosted Interactive Solutions with the Help of Expedient

New Perspective is a Pittsburgh-based video production and interactive services company that offers a unique coupling of technology with audio, visual and interactive creative development. As a full-service firm, it not only creates and edits deliverables like television commercials, corporate communications, and media rich web-based applications, but also hosts the completed projects on their own servers, providing an added level of ongoing service.

At the end of 2007, the company analyzed its business and determined that the web hosting line had the potential of becoming a profit center for the organization, and came to the conclusion that an overhaul to the technology and architecture of their current solution was needed. Although it was offering an acceptable level of service to current clients, the company decided to take steps to scale the web hosting business up as a value-added service that could meaningfully contribute to its bottom line.

To spearhead the project, the company turned to Rob Megliorino, the company's Technology Development Manager to strengthen its technical architecture. Together with Expedient, he was able to create architecture for their hosting environment that offered better performance and created a cost effective, scalable solution on which to grow that area of its business.

Chuck Zvirman, President, explained, "Rob developed the plan and executed a strategy in partnership with Expedient that made this a great service offering to our clients-one that would allow us to profitably add an extra level of service and set us apart from competition."

This effort, coupled with a seamless transition to the Expedient Data Center, has led the web hosting business line to operate profitably. Today New Perspective is actively pursuing hosting service agreements to augment it web design capabilities.

"We were really impressed with the Expedient facility, and have been impressed with the level of service we received. Being that its local, if we have any issues Dan [Beal] usually just comes over and helps us. It sounds simple, but this level of support is far superior to what we've encountered in the past," offered Megliorino

Zvirman agreed, "They have been a true partner at every stage. They take an interest in your company, and how you do business, to provide the best solution available."

Expedient's state-of-the-art managed services and data center in Pittsburgh is a SSAE-16 audited facility that offers customers secure, redundant facilities to host their business critical applications backed by the power of one of the most extensive award winning Ethernet Networks.

"We are confident that, with the increased need for more interactive solutions, we have the backbone in place to quickly react and adapt to technology advances and offer those to our customers immediately," said Zvirman. "This is going to help us stay competitive now and into the future."

As a result of their partnership with Expedient, New Perspective is able to focus on their business operations and be confident that Expedient's managed data services can support their growth. With a solution that is fully-redundant and scalable, New Perspective is able to offer its customers a web hosting solution with decreased downtime and increased performance.
