What is an Application Service Provider (ASP) and why is it better?
ASP describes a business model that leverages the power of the Internet to deliver software services with unmatched fiscal benefits and incredible increases in efficiency. Instead of delivering CDs full of software with endless updates and support, an ASP delivers it’s software services over a secure Internet connection (browser) and manages all the software development, hosting, database maintenance, updates, and support. All you need to access an ASP’s service is an Internet connection and browser. This means no new hardware to buy and no time-consuming installation process. You simply launch your browser, log in, and get to work. The benefits of using an ASP can be quite significant. Because the provider manages all the servers, development, security, and support, there is no local need for IT personnel. Additionally, using the Internet means that geographic limitations once present are completely irrelevant. You can login to your service from any Internet connected computer anywher
