March 18, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Managed Web hosting and application service provider Nacio (nacio.com) announced on Thursday that it had launched Via Nacio, a partner program for delivering hosted enterprise applications. Under the program, Nacio will partner with independent software vendors, delivering applications out of a managed hosting environment housed in Nacio’s data center.

“Our goal is to build a diverse and comprehensive mix of Nacio-hosted product solutions. We’re doing it by delivering market leading enterprise software via our hosted management and distribution platform,” says Stephen King, vice president for business development at Nacio. “There’s a compelling business case to be made for enabling companies to benefit from the power and value of enterprise solutions in a managed, hosted environment – without the overhead and infrastructure costs and the risks and deployment delays of the more traditional ‘purchase and install’ model.”
