 Business
automation through the use of flexible and efficient software applications
provides the opportunity for organizations to save valuable time and
resources. The harnessing of expertise in modern system development
technologies and methodologies has allowed Malswitch to consolidate
and establish an efficient and versatile software development center,
called Application Service Provider (ASP), that can handle a range
of system design, programming, implementation and maintenance services.
We have the aim of exploiting modern technologies to maximize an organization’s
productivity through automation of business rules and manual business
processes. Today, ASP has grown into a full house of payroll, business
processing & business reporting, website and web application solutions.

Websites and Web Applications
 An
organization needs a web presence to promote its corporate image,
products and services. A website will act as a platform to demonstrate
an organization's expertise and encourage communication with clients.
Malswitch, through its ASP division, can develop a professionally
designed website for your organization or help you evaluate your current
website and present options and solutions to increase your online
presence. A website has numerous benefits:
- Increases your visibility in and outside Malawi
- Helps you standout from the competition as a leader in a particular
product or service
- Increases brand awareness
- Improves customer service
- Tracks an organization’s marketing effectiveness
- Provides management with up-to-date information for accurate
decision making
Web applications are custom products that can be accessed using internet
browsers. These applications provide the user an interface that they
can use to store and access information. This provides companies with
an opportunity to save time and money and improve the way they interact
with clients and business partners. Since the application is available
from almost anywhere, it provides an ideal information centre.
 An
example of a web application developed by Malswitch is
documentPlus a Document Based
Management System that allows groups to share information stored in
a central database. A problem common to most organizations is how
to effectively manage paper documents. For example, big organizations
have problems tracking document versions, finding archived files and
ensuring controlled access to sensitive data.
documentPlus is a solution to
these problems by providing a complete, highly scalable, database
solution package for intelligent management of electronic documents
from unlimited locations over an organization’s network. The system
provides numerous functions including rollback to previous versions
of documents, history log (audit trail) to ensure accountability and
transparency, efficient and thorough search engine plus a high level
of security. documentPlus
could be used by any organization seeking to improve the handling
of its documents.

Workflow Solutions
 Malswitch
has introduced the concept of workflow and systems integration to
Malawi. A workflow solution assists organizations in automating processes
that would have otherwise been manually done. It creates a framework
where each person involved has a specific role and each activity is
coordinated by the system. This ensures the order in which the tasks
are done and automates the process through which information is passed
from one person to another.
Workflow solutions are tailor made to the individual’s need. By eliminating
the problems associated with manual procedures, the systems developed
will boost the efficiency of the operations and improve time management.
The work is more economically distributed amongst the employees and
through audit facilities, the system records the activities involved
in a process and each person responsible in each step. In addition
to this, the system guarantees that there is no loss of information,
ensures integrity and security of data while guaranteeing confidentiality.
The systems are also easily expanded. This means that they can be
gradually introduced into an organization making the implementation
process simpler and inexpensive.
Examples of workflow solutions developed by Malswitch include the
Electronic Credit Ceiling Authority (CCA) System that is aimed at
controlling government expenditure and the E-bidding system through
which commercial banks and financial institutions nationwide submit
bids for Treasury Bills electronically.
