Extol has designed a business model with a great edge in competitive advantage - the mXPower Portal. It is an Application Service Provider or ASP which aims to deliver cost-effective ecommerce solutions to SMEs, SMIs and large companies who find ASP models more beneficial than the ownership models.


What is ASP? ASP is an application software delivered thru Internet or corporate intranet. Modern business organizations rely largely on applications such as procurement, logistic and banking to do their daily business transactions. ASP gets these applications web enabled, doing away with the need for paper-based transactions of order and remittance information. What is mXPower ? mXPower is a web-based Business-to-Business ASP which is specially designed to meet the information processing requirements of small, medium and corporate businesses. It provides a contractual service offering to deploy, host, manage and rent access to e-procurement applications from a centrally managed facility. Business Concept mXPower is based on the basic business cycle concept. A basic business cycle consists of manufacturers / traders, suppliers and customers carrying out business transaction. mXPower mainly provides hosting services for these business parties. Traders / Manufacturers are mostly the initiators or 'owners' of the system. The initiator requests mXPower to provide hosting services for its business transactions. Then, the initiator invites its suppliers and customers to be the members of the portal. Once the business community has acquired the hosting service of mXPower, they can freely exchange and carry out their business transactions. Business Benefits of mXPower Lower Cost of Ownership Predictable cash flow Reduce Resource Cost - Staff Training Increase End-User Satisfaction Allow modification and News Updates Integration with legacy system Latest Technology Applications mXPower comes in four separate packages namely ECPRO, ECDMS, ECMarketPlace and ECERP.
