September 25, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Telecoms and Internet Service Providers are becoming important players in the web hosting industry and are utilizing SWsoft (http://www.swsoft.com) solutions to meet their business goals, it was reported yesterday.
KPN in The Netherlands, Swisscom, Telecom Italia, STA (Andorra Telecom), Portugal Telecom and Togo Telecom are all examples of telecoms using SWsoft products to provide web hosting and software as a service (SaaS) services to their customers.
"Telecoms and Internet service providers are increasingly becoming important players in the hosting business," explained SWsoft’s European and Asian operations Managing Director, Soeren von Varchmin.

The company provides a “complete line of products - hosting control panels, provisioning systems, billing systems, customized datacenter management tools - that provide telecom carriers with the solutions they need to profitably launch hosting services and SaaS applications”.
