The Traditional Problem

As Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) work diligently to improve and add features to their software they are constantly faced with the issue of how to best deliver their products to their customers. Customers are tired of the revolving upgrades and the costs associated with them, including licensing costs and upgrades to the end user's infrastructure. These unscheduled expenses create customer resistance to upgrades and implementation of software, which in the end keep the ISV from delivering their products.

The Solution

Application Hosting assists the ISV in overcoming the obstacles associated with delivering software by eliminating the hurdles that come with installations and upgrades. ASPs assume the responsibility of the data center and backend and convert that into a monthly expense. When a new version of software is released, it can be implemented instantly to everyone at the same time. Your application becomes a utility that the customer turns on everyday. Added Value Hosting also opens up the ISV to complimentary integration with other products on a grand scale. For example integrating a contact management system with an accounting system or an accounting system with an e-commerce system. Application Hosting makes this a viable solution that would otherwise be difficult to deliver on a large scale. The ISV can now offer an end-to-end solution, not just one piece of the puzzle.

Predictable Costs/Revenues

This creates a "Win-Win" situation for both the ISV and the end user. The customer gets to have consistent costs associated with their applications and the ISV gets to maximize its revenue and concentrate on delivering the best possible product.

Extended Market Reach

From a sales and marketing point of view, hosting your application with an ASP helps the ISV extend their market reach into businesses that would not normally be candidates for your software. Since applications can be delivered with as little as a dialup connection and a web browser via the Internet, and the requirements for expansive deployment of internal servers disappears, the ISV can now target their application to the growing Small to Medium Business Market (SMB) space.
