What is a Web-based Hosted Application? A hosted application is a software program that you access using an Internet connection. The applications software is owned by and resides on the server of the Application Service Provider [ASP]. You generally pay a setup fee and monthly hosting fee similar to how you pay for your Internet connection, phone service or cable TV. Companies that subscribe to an ASP?s services, use the applications just as consumers use telephone voice-mail that?s offered through, say, AT&T or Verizon. The voice-mail technology does not exist in the person?s house; it lives at the phone company. The user simply pays the phone company a monthly bill to access its technology. This save the consumer the cost of buying, maintaining and replacing an answering machine. Subscribing to an ASP allows a company to avoid purchasing, installing, supporting and upgrading expensive software applications. What are the Advantages of a Web-based Hosted Application? Hosting your business applications has significant advantages over the traditional client/server type applications. Essentially, a hosted application is when an ASP or Application Service Provider will host one or more applications on behalf of a company and provide access either through dedicated lines or more simply through Internet connections. The business advantages to customers include: Lower cost of management and operation. Since the task of managing and running the application on an on-going basis is off-loaded to the ASP provider, the customer does not need to hire and train in-house staff to manage the application. Quicker implementation. ASP-delivered enterprise applications can often reduce the complexity of installing a new system. In addition to removing many issues relating to hardware and networking, ASPs often aim to deliver a standardized configuration, thus reducing time to go live. Focus on business, not technology. Since the ASP will also be providing application management services, the customer gains access to trained personnel right away. This enables the customer to use the in-house IT personnel to solve core IT issues and focus on the strategy of the enterprise. Keep current on the latest technology. Customers can automatically leverage the latest technology in their system without incremental upgrade expense or the hassles of upgrading the system themselves. Predictability of costs. One of the benefits of the ASP is that costs are fixed and can be calculated easily throughout the year, which makes it easier to budget accordingly. Finally, applications that have traditionally been reserved for the largest companies in the world are now more affordable and available to companies of all sizes - all thanks to ASPs.
