Program Description
An Application Service Provider (ASP) provides your business applications over a secure network to a desired service level. An ASP must understand and capture your requirements, provide the appropriate applications and manage them to the desired service level. This is done over a secure network with the hardware located in an impenetrable data-center. The ASP must be fully accountable to you for complete service. |
