The case for deploying website Content Management Systems (CMS) via the ASP (Application Service Provider) model is compelling - especially where future-proof flexibility at cost-effective pricing is required.
It is a similar concept to straight outsourcing but there are some differences. With the ASP model, organisations typically pay for the software they want to use on a per seat, per month basis with no large capital outlay. The software used is hosted remotely with the functionality delivered via the Internet to a client browser.
Further ASP benefits are:
- If your organisation has technical staff already then:
- Technical staff are freed from tasks such as upgrades, maintenance, technical assistance and on-going development.
- No further investment in IT staff, IT training, licence fees or hardware is required.
- Organisations simply leverage the facilities, personnel and equipment they already have.
- If your organisation has no technical staff then:
- There is no need to hire IT staff to manage the CM system
With the ASP model you get future modifications and enhancements to the CM system as part of your subscription.
