TLC's collaboration suite is an online service, so there's ZERO hardware or software for you to buy, install or maintain. Your intranet can be set up in five minutes and your entire team, company or organization will be productive the very same day -- avoiding the investment of months that would be required to build and deploy your own local collaboration solution.

The web is revolutionizing how companies of all sizes are buying software and collaboration solutions to help them manage their businesses. The web now enables businesses to buy "software-as-a-service."

Web Services represent a dramatic advance over traditional client/server software. It is instantly accessible from anywhere in the world for easy collaboration among authorized users. There's no hardware or software to buy, install or maintain, so it is fast and affordable to deploy. It's secure and private, and offers state-of-the-art data backup and protection.

There are seven reasons to choose an online service vs. building a collaboration service in house:

1. ZERO Hardware or Software to Buy
   Because we are an online service, there's no hardware or software to buy, install or maintain. Flexible monthly or annual pricing plans provide predictable costs.

2. Rapid Set up and Deployment
   Our online service can be set up in five minutes and becomes fully operational the very same day -- unlike the months typically required to build and deploy a local solution.

3. Accessible from Anywhere in the World
   With our online service, you leverage the power and flexibility of the internet to obtain anytime, anywhere access for remote workers without the need for installing and managing firewall and VPN's.

4. Ongoing Support and Product Enhancements
   We leverage the feedback from users to add compelling new applications and features to your service. We back them up with extensive testing and customer support.

5. Reliability, Performance and Security
   Our experienced staff monitors our state-of-the art data center 24x7 to ensure 99.99% availability. We follow best practices by backing up all customer data nightly to a secure off-site facility. Without an online service, this level of security and support would require dedicated IT resources, exponentially increasing your total cost of ownership.

6. Flexible and Customizable to Meet Your Needs
   You can control a rich set of configuration and customization options for your company's intranet site, using only a web browser. If you desire even greater customization, our expert intranet developers are available to help.

7. High User Adoption and Successful Deployment
   We have invested more than 100 person-years in designing and developing our online collaboration service. Our expertise and experience assure high user adoption and a very successful rollout in your organization.
