The Concept • By developing strategic partnerships with best-of-breed Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and world class hardware manufacturers, BlueStar's "In-a-Box" Series provides a jump start for those who provide or wish to provide solutions that address real business needs. Knowing that any software offering will not perfectly fit every opportunity, BlueStar is aligned with ISVs that can easily make modifications or enhancements that will meet a customer's specific need. • Easy To Procure: One SKU • Easy to Deploy: Flexible Applications • Easy to Use: Learn the Basics
