Application Service Provider (ASP) 1
Application Service Provider (ASP) 1 : (ICT) (SE, ECOM) A company that provides the use of applications and associated services across a network to multiple customers. ASPs deliver standardized software via a network - usually, but not necessarily, the Internet - through an outsourcing contract predicated on usage-based transaction pricing. ASPs may host applications on their customers' sites, but most do so in their own data centres, where they are responsible for maintaining the applications and all associated hardware, software and network services to link the applications to the customer base. Despite early promise that the ASP model would suit a broad range of application types, most ASP services to date have been limited to e-mail or enterprise resource planning
