7/12 Why is ASP so bad? An example of an ASP model- Yahoo Finance- This entire site is one big ASP application. You can login- load you stock portfolio- track its performance- host discussions- view data related to stocks Same goes for the bill pay.. same goes for the MyYahoo stuff.. Yahoo has gone way beyond the portal to information- They give people the ability to Loadand Retrieve data using the ASP model. The whole ASP thing just got a bad name because a lot of broke dot coms lost their shirts persuing the ASP model- in particular related to the keyword ecommerce. But in actuality the ASP model is far superior to anything (except for maybe the security aspect). The rollout costs are nil- the training costs are minimized- the ability to implement quick enhancements is there- If lets say- Ellison got his way with the network computer- we really would have a better operating environment as MSFT could go in real time and update the interface and release enhancements without having to bundle the entire package together. The Ecommerce ASP is still a multibillion dollar solution. Look at Ebay- ASP model. SAP applications may as well be considered ASP now with all the http://MySAP.com integration they have. Just becuase we all don't use commerce one's or ariba's software doesn't mean it is a flawed idea- or bad technology. |
