HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2008 – The Planet, the world’s largest privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced a new partnership for its Microsoft SBS Partner Program with award-winning managed services provider TechAssist (www.techassistllc.com). With offices in Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh, TechAssist provides hosted managed services to its clients that include national associations, law firms, financial services companies and medical offices, all focused on providing professional services.  In rankings out this week, MSP.Net -- a media outlet that focuses on the managed services market -- named TechAssist to its national list of the Top 100 Managed Services Providers.

Through its “True Technology Management” services, TechAssist offers complete enterprise-class IT solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses, previously available only in large companies with enormous technology teams.  The company brings together the monitoring and remote support of a managed services provider, the onsite support of an IT outsourcing company, and the strategic guidance of a technology consultant in one convenient, fixed-price plan, which can be scaled to fit any business.

 “Our clients rely on TechAssist to provide solid, uninterrupted service around the clock,” said TechAssist CEO Nick Vossburg.  “The Planet’s new Microsoft SBS partner program provides us with the applications our customers require, backed by its world-class network and data centers.”

“Our Microsoft SBS partner program was designed for companies like TechAssist that clearly understand the SMB market and the value of the managed services model,” said James P. Treuting, vice president of sales and operations with The Planet.  “TechAssist provides its clients with services previously available only in enterprise-size organizations with big IT teams.  Nick Vossburg and his team retain management and deliver value-added services to their clients, backed by our world-class network, data centers and support.”

CEO Nick Vossburg will deliver an address titled “Infrastructure Solutions of the Future: Hosted Networks” at this week’s national meeting of the American Society of Association Executives.  The Association Technology Conference & Expo will be held Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.  The conference offers sessions on technology breakthroughs that help to transform IT operations for associations.

TechAssist recently announced the opening of a new operations center in Pittsburgh that includes a remote-support call center, training facilities and back office functions.
