E-BUSINESS
Even for small businesses, there is a lot of money to be made through online sales. However, building an e-commerce site requires high-end software, most of which is designed to fit the needs (and budget) of enterprise-level clients. For smaller operations, this is one area where an ASP can level the playing field. Our e-business Showcase is an overview of companies who deliver storefront and payment processing applications to clients of every size - and who can help you grow your business overnight. |
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
Whether they're troubleshooting for key clients or walking a new customer through your site, CSRs are the backbone of your company. They represent you to the outside world, and a good service rep can turn a dissatisfied client into a repeat customer. You need to give your CSRs all the help you can, and that includes efficient, up-to-date software applications. Unfortunately, the cost of licensing even a basic customer support application can be prohibitive — and that's where ASPs come into the picture.

DESKTOP APPLICATIONS
From word processors to spreadsheets, desktop applications are an essential building block of any network. However, because licensing fees are often prohibitive - and also because most software has a shelf life of only one or two years - renting an application is often more efficient than buying one. Our Desktop Applications Showcase is a look at the application service providers who are most capable of meeting your company's specific needs, and providing the software infrastructure you need to succeed.

HUMAN RESOURCES
Application service providers allow even small businesses to use enterprise-level software, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the field of human resources management. With most HR applications being controlled by a handful of powerful software vendors and developers, it can be hard for SMEs to find an efficient, affordable solution - unless they have the application delivered through an ASP.

VERTICAL MARKETS
To be successful, you need to target the customers who will buy what you sell. But in the past, merchants servicing niche markets have often been forced to invest in extremely expensive specialty software. Through ASPs, however, smaller companies can now afford full-scale software solutions. The companies in our Vertical Market and Specialty Showcase have an impressive track record of bringing the ASP model to specialized industries.

MARKETING
Many of the best marketing applications are designed with enterprise-level users in mind, and are priced accordingly. However, with the help of ASPs, even smaller businesses can manage their promotional campaigns effectively, and thereby compete with larger companies. If you're thinking of using an ASP for your advertising management software, our Marketing Showcase can help you find exactly what you're looking for. |
ACCOUNTING FINANCE
Having top-of-the-line financial applications is essential to the success of your operation. Unfortunately, the resources required to install, maintain and upgrade a full-fledged accounting suite can be beyond the means of many small and medium-sized enterprises. For these businesses, an ASP is the logical solution. Our Accounting and Financial Showcase is a roundup of the best companies in this important field, and is designed to help you make an informed decision

MS EXCHANGE SERVER

For this reason, ASPs are an excellent solution to your message needs. ASPscope's MS Exchange Server Showcase is a look at some of the leading carriers of Microsoft's powerful communications tool.
