Currently, a large number of people including academicians and researchers distribute information through the Internet and as this number goes on increasing day by day, ASPs begin to generate new business models. Some examples of popular models are:
To create a database of thousands of products so that anyone can browse at any time and choose the right one for him or her. It would have been impossible to create such a large list without using Web technologies. An example of this kind of database is Amazon.
To create a platform where many people discuss different products or technology-related problems. Here it becomes possible to know the latest and worldwide views about a particular product or a technological problem. An example of this kind of model is Epinions.
Another popular model is used to create an interface where online auctions can be made in an inexpensive manner and many people can buy or sell any item of their choice. It is also impossible to do this at a reasonable cost without using Web technologies. An example of this kind of model is eBay.
The software must be customized to implement any ASP model. This software is also sometimes called On-Demand Software or Software as a Service (SaaS). The main purpose of this software is to provide access to a particular application program. So it must be compatible with different popular Operating Systems such as Windows, Linux, etc. and since it will provide service over the Internet so it should support standard protocol such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
The necessity of ASP is originated from the increasing cost of specialized software. Because it often has exceeded the price range of small or medium-sized businesses. Other factors, which play an important role in determining the price of the software, are the growing complexities of the software and the distribution cost of the software to the end-users. Using ASPs both the complexities of the software and distribution cost of software can be reduced. Moreover, the burden of up-gradation of software is .removed from the company at the end.
