emagiC CMS ASP offers the emagiC Site & Content Management system, developed by Emagine, as a service for a fixed monthly fee. The fee covers the use of the software, but also the hosting, back-ups and maintenance. Emagine or one of its partners can implement the graphical design. emagiC CMS ASP starts at 80 euros per month. The biggest advantage is no upfront investment in soft- or hardware, as this is all covered by the emagiC ASP program. Emagine continues to work closely together with web developers and e-business integrators in Belgium and abroad who offer the emagiC CMS to their customers, but for the ASP edition, Emagine also co-operates with hosting providers who integrate emagiC CMS in their offering. www.emagiC-CMS.com
