TheAppDrive Spins Up  

A Utility Computing Provider for Small to Medium Businesses      

Dallas, TX – January 14, 2004 –   TheAppDrive, LLC, a Utility Computing Provider based in Allen, TX, has publicly released its core product offering, ADAM.  

ADAM is a centralized, online management interface which provides access to – and management control of – all of TheAppDrive’s offerings. Through the ADAM interface, a manager has complete hierarchical control of all current and future applications, via their unique user id and password, from any Internet-enabled computer.

The initial concept for ADAM began in late 2002. TheAppDrive’s founder, Mike McQueen, saw a need for small-to-medium businesses to utilize online business tools. Due to the enormous investment in hardware, software, infrastructure, and staffing required to utilize currently available offerings, that vision and efficiency was unobtainable for many SMB’s.

“ADAM and TheAppDrive’s applications remedy a number of problems for the small business owner. They don’t have to worry about backups, they don’t have to worry about licsening, they don’t have to worry about servers, and they don’t have to worry about their firewall having the latest firmware. Small business owners can worry about running their business instead of all the technical underpinnings required by today’s marketplace” said  Mike McQueen.  

ADAM is the brains controlling all of TheAppDrive’s online applications and service offerings, all of which are designed with the latest Microsoft .NET technology. Being designed specifically for the SMB market, it has a unique, pay-per-use pricing model. There are no service contracts, annual agreements, or licensing fees – the client may discontinue use at any time. Free sign-up and trial of ADAM and its associated applications are available at http://www.TheAppDrive.com.
