The Planet Adds Canadas Computan to Managed Hosting Customer Roster
August 04, 2008 |

HOUSTON, August 4, 2008 The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today anounced that Computan has joined the growing list of customers taking
advantage of its new Planet Northstar Managed Hosting capabilities. Based in
Canadas Ontario province near Niagara Falls, Computan is an information
technology consulting firm that specializes in developing business-intensive
Internet solutions.
In business for more than 20 years, CEO Tan Qureshi and his team develop
innovative and complex applications for clients in three primary vertical lines
of business: sports, hospitality and government. Among the applications are
systems for global reservations, content management, club management and loyalty
programs. Computan also develops comment and survey systems, e-magazines and
newsletters. In every case, clients require immediate access to systems and data
around-the-clock. To complement these requirements, Computan operates a 24-hour
development cycle encompassing onsite and offshore work.
At Computan, weve built our reputation on excellent service and performance,
which enables our clients to revolutionize their online businesses, said
Qureshi. We have a large international client base as well as development that
spans the globe, so its critical our systems are always up and running. As a
Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner, we implement their applications regularly, so
were deeply familiar with the platform. Managed hosting is the way of the
future, particularly with the access to a dedicated team around-the-clock,
advanced service level agreements, security of the data centers and one-hour
hardware replacements.
When we spoke with the Planet Northstar team, their knowledge base was
impressive. They took time to understand our business and to learn about our
growth plans. In particular, our ability to have both a highly knowledgeable
senior database administrator and a network administrator on our dedicated
account team offered a significant extension to our company. We can focus on
what we do best, which is taking care of our customers. I can leave the worry of
my infrastructure to Planet Northstar, said Qureshi.
With Planet Northstar, the dedicated team of talented and seasoned
professionals are personally accountable for the customers success, said The
Planets Vice President of Marketing and Product Management Steve Kahan. Each
customers requirements are different, which is why we employ the Anticipation
Advantage Methodology to fully scope requirements based on their business goals
and growth plans. As customers grow, their IT infrastructure is ready to scale,
enabling them to take advantage of new business opportunities without the worry
of how to accommodate the infrastructure.
Computan Snapshot
Tan Qureshi started his business in 1988, following a multi-year career with
General Motors and EDS. An Ottowa native, he transferred to Ontario to manage IT
infrastructure support at a local GM manufacturing operation, armed with deep
experience on a broad range of hardware and software platforms, including DEC
VAX, HP, Compaq, Microsoft and Novell.
Initial work in his newly created company focused almost exclusively on Novell
platforms. Over time it became clear to Qureshi that Microsoft applications
would ultimately be most valued and required by his core customers.
As an avid sports enthusiast, Qureshi first built his business on managing IT
requirements for tennis and soccer teams, whose broad needs were ripe for his
development organization. Managing these teams requires extensive databases and
scheduling, which were a perfect beginning for the newly formed company. Today
his work spans the globe, with around-the-clock development that follows the
suns path. The work, he notes, never ends, which contributes to Computans
success.
