Application
Service Providers (ASPs) are third-party entities that
manage and distribute software-based services and solutions
to customers across a wide area network from a central data
center. In essence, ASPs are a way for companies to
outsource some or almost all aspects of their information
technology needs. ASPs are broken down into five
subcategories:
- Enterprise
ASPs -- deliver high-end business applications.
- Local/Regional ASPs -- supply wide variety of application
services for smaller businesses in a local area.
- Specialist ASPs -- provide applications for a specific
need, such as Web site services or human resources.
- Vertical Market ASPs -- provide support to a specific
industry such as healthcare
- Volume Business ASPs -- supply general small/medium-sized
businesses with prepackaged application services in volume.
