Software Delivery Models
Keeping your deployment options open.
No two IT situations are alike. Some businesses and agencies want everything in-house, while others would rather outsource.
The ability to host the software in-house is made possible through Application Service Providers or ASPs. With ASPs, the complexities and costs involving the acquisition and implementation of software can be cut down. ASPs are responsible for software upgrades that are typically on the end-user and also support the software implementation itself.
Software as a service, or SaaS, allows you to purchase from a third party of a Web-based software application service. SaaS allows users to purchase or download from the Internet simply and easily. SaaS is characterized by Web and network-based access to business-related software. With SaaS, third-party servers do the processing, as opposed to processes done on your location – removing the burden from your shoulders. SaaS’ pricing model is specific to your needs based on the services you require, consultation, software, hardware, and additional, on-demand IT support.
