Application Service Provider
An application service provider (ASP) is a business that provides computer-based services to customers over a network. Software offered using an ASP model is also sometimes called On-demand software or software as a service (SaaS). The most limited sense of this business is that of providing access to a particular application program (such as medical billing) using a standard protocol such as HTTP. 

The need for ASPs has evolved from the increasing costs of specialized software that have far exceeded the price range of small to medium sized businesses. As well, the growing complexities of software have led to huge costs in distributing the software to end-users. Through ASPs, the complexities and costs of such software can be cut down. In addition, the issues of upgrading have been eliminated from the end-firm by placing the onus on the ASP to maintain up-to-date services, 24 x 7 technical support, physical and electronic security and in-built support for business continuity and flexible working.

However the market place has spoken loudly for companies to make the jump from MSP (managed service providers) and ASP (application service provider) models to the advantageous ‘Software-as-a-Service’, or SaaS, model.

Wizmo Inc, a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution provider.  SaaS is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet.  By eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computer, SaaS alleviates the customer's burden of software maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.  Using SaaS also can reduce the up-front expense of software purchases, through less costly, on-demand pricing.  From the software vendor's standpoint, SaaS has the attraction of providing stronger protection of its intellectual property and establishing an ongoing revenue stream.
