Since 1999, Secure Web Services has helped household
names get to grips with the intricacies of e-business.
Swotbooks.com
Swotbooks is an online book retailer focusing on cheap academic
titles. On finding its IT costs spiralling out of control due to
separate hosting and development companies, the board decided it
needed to find a company that could host and maintain its secure
online site in a more cost-effective manner.
SWS was able to provide a seamless migration from a Windows NT
/ IBM Websphere solution to a high availability/load balanced solution
built on Linux / Apache and PHP. This enabled Swotbooks to dramatically
reduce its IT spend and become the first online book retailer to
turn a profit within the next year.
"They have responded ably and speedily to the needs of the business," said
chief executive Paul English, earlier this year. "I am grateful
to the team at SWS for the way in which they have supported us
so positively over the last year. Their appointment remains one
of the single most significant events in the history of Swotbooks."
TOAST
TOAST, a leading mail order fashion company, benefits from an
agreement with SWS to host and manage its secure online site by
paying a small percentage of its online sales. This solution works
well for companies that wish to sell online for the first time
and are unaware of the potential sales it can produce.
