ASPs: Alive and well and living on broad applications

Reports of the death of the ASP market have been greatly exaggerated, according to a Jupiter MMXI report slated for launch tomorrow.

According to CNet the report will show continued enthusiasm for the ASP model with a quarter of companies planning to spend at least a fifth of their IT budget on them.

Preston Dodd, analyst at Jupiter, is quoted as saying ASPs were beginning to realise that the broad applications were the only ones worth outsourcing with ASPs. He said many ASPs were bogged down by trying to customise bespoke software not developed for delivery over the internet.

Despite a number of ASP start-ups enduring a lean time currently, the report will find the trend is still to move toward ASP delivery, with web-enabled software becoming increasingly common.
