Looks at the ASP or rented application market. Argues that companies should be wary of using ASP even for the non core business activities. For example in the HR and accounting areas the disadvantages outweigh the apparent advantages. Problems can occur here with companies not having formal management methodologies and processes to oversee these relationships. Further problems can occur with finding a particular provider that can help one's needs especially for the small to medium market. Argues there is a sizeable market to provide a model of application service delivery that matches customer expectations.
