Dont underestimate the SLA's role in accountability. For companies that have dynamic requirements and no down time can be afforded, make sure you have very tight SLAs. For example, OpSource provides a 100% SLA in the cloud and 100%SLA around production application environments. Now 100% is ideally perfect, it comes down to accountability, yo...

Month2Month.com Explains Why It Gives Away the Best eCards on the Web
Month2Month.com Explains Why It Gives Away the Best eCards on the Web

PORT CHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Upstart eCard company continues to put pressure on American Greetings, Blue Mountain, Hallmark and others with its rollout of a new suite of free Thanksgiving eCards. This follows its successful Halloween launch that drew rave reviews from users.

John Aslanian, CEO, said, "We believe that free is still the most powerful marketing tool and by not having any barriers to usage such as fees or toolbars to download and by offering the best eCards available, we will continue to challenge the eCard industry."

Aslanian continued, "When we set out to design the site, we saw the result of mass consolidation in the eCard space with the same cards seen everywhere. This provided an opportunity for us to set ourselves apart from the competition. In addition, we believe we offer the best eCard presentation with a large format and unique personalization features. Plus the convenience of an in-page console that simplifies the entire process of sending cards."

For Thanksgiving, Month2Month.com continues the saga of the Turkey gang and their attempt to make Thanksgiving the number-one holiday on the calendar. Other cards include an interactive turkey shoot (no one gets harmed), a pilgrim Thanksgiving and more.

Month2Month.com cards are all produced by top-notch artists working in a loft studio just outside of New York City. The cards show great care in design and detail and often take weeks or months to complete. They are all professionally animated often requiring hundreds of frames to get the motion to look smooth and flowing.

Month2Month.com is a privately held online greeting company founded in 2005. The site offers free high quality online greeting cards and can be found at http://www.month2month.com/.
