Hosted Application Economics
The Internet has provided the foundation for many fundamental changes in the
business world. One of the methodologies is Hosted Applications.
They are provided by Application Service Providers (ASPs). The
ASP makes all of the investment to create the system, and provides the service on the
Internet to you the customer. The Integrity Center, Inc. has been
a state-of-the-art ASP since 1996. The Hosted Application business model
has been very successful for Human Resource and Security applications.
Consider where the savings come from:
 
The ASP provides the software for you.
The ASP provides the data center hardware for you.
The ASP performs any maintenance for you.
The ASP implements all upgrades, and they are free to you.
With an adequate browser and PC, you can be functioning
the same day that you say you want to begin.
The ASP only charges for the features you use, in whatever
volume you use them.
The ASP provides the IT staff.
The ASP provides the expert support.
You can focus on your core competencies.
If your organization is geographically dispersed, everyone
can use the system if they can access the Internet.
The system is completely scalable so you can grow without
looking back to see if you need additional resources.
The ASP makes sure that the system is available to you, your
employees, and your applicants -- 24/7.
