BrassRing Systems™ Named to Information Week's Top 100 ASP List
SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec 11, 2000 - BrassRing Systems, the leading provider of Talent Relationship Management (TRM) solutions for Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies, announced today that it was named one of top 100 Application Service Providers (ASPs) in a recent survey published in InformationWeek. The top 100 Asps were selected based on their growth strategies, partnerships, core competencies, subscriber base and applications hosted.
The survey was conducted by The Information Resource Group (IRG), a marketing support and services firm focused on providing business intelligence to the information technology community. IRG profiled 222 Asps for a comprehensive analysis of today's ASP industry and selected the top 100.
"It is an honor to be recognized as one of the best in the rapidly growing ASP industry," said Deb Besemer, CEO of BrassRing, Inc., the parent company of BrassRing Systems. " We were the first in the HR space for enterprise hiring management systems to embrace this business model, and this recognition is a reflection of the quality and value we strive to deliver to our clients."
According to IRG, the Top 100 Asps were selected by assigning point values to key areas, including: software application/content partnerships; percent of total annual revenue derived from ASP services; length of time the organization has been offering ASP services; number of subscribers and current or future plans to service the European and/or Pacific Rim marketplaces.
BrassRing Systems' flagship ASP product, Hiresystems® 3.75, is a suite of web-based software and services that automates every step of the HR process including applicant assessment, scoring and prescreening candidates and automatic routing of the most desirable candidates.
