Application Service
Provider (ASP)
|
An ASP is a company that hosts software applications on their
own servers and customers can rent these applications
via the internet or a private line connection.
As our products are web-based, it allows
us to provide our applications via the ASP model. The ASP
model means that we (the ASP) will host our application using
our own hardware. Companies will then subscribe to use our
application, accessible via the internet without having to
buy the application. However, we will charge the subscriber
a monthly fee based on either usage and/or a fixed charge.
We will undertake to enter into a service
level agreement with the subscriber. Our service agreement
will cover the provision, managing, servicing, maintaining
and upgrading of all hardware and software. The ASP model
shifts the complications of technology maintenance from the
companies to the ASP provider (Portrade), allowing them to
focus on their core operations and competencies.
The Benefits of using ASP services include:
 |
Quick Deployment - The Portrade ASP model reduces
the time required for implementation and integration.
In certain instances where the appropriate infrastructure
is in place, applications can be installed and run in
just a few minutes.
|
 |
Minimal Costs - Clients do not own the applications,
and even software management cost are reduced as we
are able to spread our fixed costs across a number of
clients.
|
 |
Instant Network - Portrades ASP applications
can be accessed over the Internet or through the clients
own intranet. For companies that do not have network
assets and system resources, the ASP option provides
a compelling reason for deploying web-based applications
via the ASP model.
|
 |
Reduced Management Tasks - Portrade will handle
system maintenance tasks, including back-up and recovery,
upgrades, network management and user additions and
deletions. The task of finding and maintaining skilled
IT personnel will predominantly be taken over by Portrade.
|
 |
Less Risks - Portrade will assume the cost of
capital expenditure on software, hardware and IT personnel,
allowing the client to predict with more certainty,
the level of future IT expenditure. Risks concerning
loss or damage to the software or hardware is also borne
by Portrade.
