Many outsource to network integrators and rely on them to deliver the technology they need. Inevitably, the costs associated with installing and maintaining that technology add up to more than companies expect. These unscheduled expenses create stress within the company. Many times, such companies cannot afford neither the downtime nor the high rates that are associated with keeping their networks up and running. No longer do companies need to make a large up front investment in infrastructure and installation services and then deal with the inconsistent expenses of maintaining the network.
ASPs deliver the needed applications all for one predictable, per user monthly fee.
Using what you have Because all processing work is done in the data center, thin client computing allows the ASP to extend the useful life of preexisting older equipment. With ICA and RDP protocols, one can literally run Windows 2000 applications on a 486. The ASP can deliver the same applications to almost any desktop operating system or a thin client terminal. Any Application, Anytime, Anywhere The ASP extends the use of applications geographically. If an end user can access the internet, they can access the same applications that are available in their office.
