8. Freightgate.com is an Application Service Provider. What is an Application Service Provider or ASP?
|
| An Application Service Provider is any organization or third party that provisions software applications over the Internet, typically for a fee. ASPs host and manage the applications from their facilities or from co-location centers, and coordinate the ongoing support, maintenance, and upgrades of the applications. By combining software, hardware, networking technologies, and technical expertise, ASPs can provide superior performance and increased security. They also offer reliability and scalability over traditional corporately owned, in-house applications- without a significant up-front financial commitment. To Top |
| 9. Why should I consider an ASP over in-house development or outsourced development and application ownership? |
| Consider using an ASP to obtain access to applications that would otherwise be too expensive to purchase or create on your own. This drastically lowers investment dollars as you are sharing application maintenance costs with other companies. This also helps underlying budgeting requirements, as your software costs are fixed and predictable. The result is you stay focused on your business and not trying to develop costly software products that may or may not work as intended. To Top |
