What Is ASP

An ASP (Application Service Provider) is essentially a software supplier who makes applications available on a 'subscription basis'. ASPs combine software, hardware and networking technologies to deliver business applications through a web-based interface. The entire infrastructure on which these applications reside is owned by the ASP, and they shoulder the all the up-front costs and also responsibilities for software development, user support, and networking solutions.

A simple definition, however, cannot adequately describe the exciting potential of this hot new Internet technology. Some are calling ASP "the most significant development in the history of computing since the advent of the PC." It is easy to see why ASP garners such high praise - the advantages it offers are numerous and compelling. The ASP model of software delivery is a win-win scenario all around! Through economies of scale, it provides abilities and benefits that traditional software solutions just cannot match.
