These days, you can't turn around without another ASP sprouting up or another business beginning to offer ASP services. True to its definition, an ASP is a service that hosts applications on the Web. ASPs now offer all the software you might need. And although the field is escalating, the customer base is not. Because of the newness of the industry, much is still in flux, and enlisting the services of an ASP isn't exactly simple.
Business owners are also wary about security.
I talked with the personnel at each ASP about how my data would be protected and who would have access to it. But I also approached ASPs with the understanding that things can go wrong. So I was just as concerned about how the ASP would handle a problem if one occurred. Sure, but Kraft admits that security issues had him apprehensive. And he handled it the right way by asking questions.
