ASP - Application Service Provider
An ASP is in the business of
providing outsourced information and communication technology
solutions. ASPs give customers the option of fixing their monthly
per user technology cost. Subscribers have the ability to rent
software applications, host proprietary software applications,
consolidate network support costs, and receive data communications
tools via the Internet or a private Wide Area Network (WAN). ASPs
deliver information communication technology solutions to anyone,
anywhere, anytime.
An ASP manages and delivers
information communication technologies from a centralized data
center/server farm across a Wide Area Network (WAN) and/or the
Internet. Application Service Providers offer a simple and
cost-effective alternative to managing technology, and help
customers control the total cost of ownership for technology
equipment.
The ASP model is a flexible tool that
can be used for delivering information and communication technology
solutions to a wide range of end-users without a substantial
investment in traditional internal network solutions.

ASP for End Users
End user is defined as any business,
their employees, and home users. On-lineoffice has been specifically
designed to meet the needs of the end user. Often times end users
can’t afford the high costs associated with having top of the line
hardware and software.
Small businesses need the full
functionality of a LAN, but don’t have the resources to get the
best products and services. Home users need application software
programs to write letters, balance check books, do homework, run a
home office, and much more, but can’t afford the cost of all the
software involved. Large corporations struggle with strict budgets,
and instead of spending all that money on new hardware, upgrades,
and IT staff, they could use the money for other things that would
make them more profitable. On-lineoffice can help end users save
money in all three of these categories.
On-lineoffice does not just help the
company or home user with little money to spend on computer hardware
and software. On-lineoffice is for the large corporations as well.
Not only can we save your company money, we can also offer a much
more secure network environment than most LANs. All businesses,
including large corporations, have worries of their network being
invaded by an outsider, and important company information stolen.
Large corporations are more at risk for attempted invasions because
of their large profile.
Wouldn’t it be great for any
company to be able to shave their budget for computer hardware and
software, and increase their budget on employee training,
advertising, marketing, employee incentive programs, etc…?
Computer hardware and software is not a one-time-buy, companies have
to continue to upgrade with changing technology, therefore, it is a
huge expense for any size company.
Any business, large or small, may not
want to outsource all their company applications. On-lineoffice can
be used to host just one application that you need employees to be
able to access from multiple sites. Maybe you have a software
package that is costly, and you don’t want to have to buy it for
multiple sites, or pay for installation and upgrades. You can have a
LAN with everyday office applications, but rent the expensive
software applications from us. You decide how On-lineoffice can help
your company, and we will provide you the services you need.
On-lineoffice has been designed to
enable small to medium size businesses to have the software they
need to run their business, while preventing them from having to
purchase expensive hardware, labor, and software packages.
Sometimes, top-of-the-line specialized software packages for
functions such as accounting and database management can cost in
upwards of $30,000.00. Thus making it tough for the small and medium
size businesses to afford having the best software. On-lineoffice
makes this a virtual non-issue, and makes it affordable to the small
and medium size businesses to have the best software packages to run
their businesses.
If you are thinking about opening a
new business, or maybe just another office, but don’t have the
capital to buy what you need to run it. Or, if the cost of computer
systems and software are keeping you from opening or expanding a
profitable business, then on-lineoffice may be just what you need.
We can have your new business up and running in no time at a price
you can afford.
On-lineoffice can also help the home
user and/or home office. Many people can afford the computer, but
what about all the programs that they need to make it run?
Purchasing home accounting, word processing, spreadsheet,
presentation, and e-mail software can get pricey, and you probably
don’t even need it all the time. How about making one low payment
a month, and having access to all those programs all the time,
whenever you need it, wherever you need it? That’s right -
wherever - you don’t even need to be at home to use it! If you can
find a computer to use, you have access to all your computer
programs - all the time!
To find out what kind of computer you
will need, please see our system requirements. If you already have a
computer, you are probably ready to go and, you should have no
problems. This is what most people and businesses find to be most
attractive. The speed of how the programs work is totally dependent
on the kind of line you have to get out to the Internet, and the on-lineoffice
servers. Our servers, made by Hewlett-Packard, are the best servers
money can buy. So, as long as you try and follow the system
requirements for maximum performance, you should have the fastest
computer connection out there.
All you end users out there should
take time to read the benefits of using on-lineoffice because there
may be benefits that you have not even thought about. See why you
should consider using on-lineoffice for your needs. Also, visit our
pricing model to see just how much money you could save.
