Contract Win: CGMS Consulting

Nasstar plc ("Nasstar", AIM: NASA), which delivers desktop computing over the internet, is pleased to report that it has today entered into a 3 year contract to provide its Hosted Desktop service to CGMS Limited, one of the largest planning consultancies in London.

Under the terms of the contract Nasstar's Hosted Desktop internet service will be rolled out to 125 staff across their UK offices with the flexibility for further users to be added during the contract term. Hosted Desktop enables each user to access all their applications and data through a web browser providing an alternative to traditional 'on-premise' computing. 

The contract is for a period of 3 years and the actual value of the contract will depend on exact usage based on an agreed per user per month fee. 

Charles Black, Nasstar's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed by CgMs to deliver our innovative Hosted Desktop service. This contract really underlines the benefits and scalability of our approach which transforms IT from a locally installed boxed product to an internet cloud computing model." 

John Stockdale, CgMs Finance Director said: "We're very pleased to be adopting Nasstar's service, its a different approach from the way we have bought IT in the past, delivers great benefits and saves us money. Nasstar's  model of internet delivery provides us with the flexibility we need with staff working across the UK."
