Why Freedom fits into your business strategy

Following are actual questions and concerns that we have encountered while presenting Freedom to prospective clients, current clients and friends. After each one is our response and a statement summarizing Freedom's benefit that most closely matches the concern.

We don't have a lot of time to keep our website updated. In fact, our IT staff and other technical support personnel are overworked and behind on projects now.

	Using Freedom for your online platform removes ALL technological barriers related to website maintenance. Anyone with access to a web browser and an internet connection can use Freedom's easy-to-use tools to create new content, manage mailing lists, process shopping cart orders and more. Anyone from the CEO to the receptionist can utilize their spare moments to keep the website current. Freedom is easy to use.

From my past experience, designing and programming a website is a lengthy process. Our last site took six months to complete.

	Freedom is a mature product, with ready-built applications, meaning you can deploy your new web presence in weeks -- not months. And because Freedom is actively in use by hundreds of organizations, you know that you'll get a site that is robust, secure and reliable. Freedom is ready to deploy.

I'm uncomfortable buying into "proprietary" solutions. Will my content become unavailable if I want to use it elsewhere?

	While the functionality of Freedom's modules is proprietary, the platform is built on industry-standard technologies that you may have heard of: Unix, Apache, PHP and MySQL. All of your website data, and your graphic images belong to you. Should you ever want it, all the information that makes up the content portion of your site can be extracted from the database and saved to plain text or HTML files. You are always in control of your content.

Other internet firms have offered me a custom developed website that I only pay for once. Why should I pay a little each month when I can purchase a website outright all at once?

	Freedom's leasing model is in line with other common ASP (Application Service Provider) offerings that are blossoming in every industry. And for good reason. It is no longer cost-effective to do everything in-house. And a solution that you build today can quickly become outdated in this fast-paced economy. While you may find comfort in "owning" your custom developed website software -- the total cost of ownership is actually less with Freedom's affordable monthly licensing fees. Accrisoft maintains a full-time staff of programmers dedicated to keeping Freedom up-to-date with today's business needs. And because Freedom is a 100% market-driven product, Freedom clients like YOU have a voice in the features and additions that you want to see in future versions. Updates, when released, are free. Freedom is affordable and actively developed.

Once I sign up with Freedom, what's to keep you from raising the prices every year?

	When you sign a 24 or 36 month contract for Freedom, your price for the software license is locked in for the entire duration. No surprises. No gimmicks. If a longer contract is required, please contact us. IPC is committed to your success.

I'd like to see some examples of how other companies are using Freedom. Is there a list of sites I can browse?

	The Freedom platform is in use at hundreds of websites in dozens of industries. Use our contact form to request a list of sites that closely match your industry or business model. Freedom is proven and trusted.
