Major ERP vendors are changing their revenue model to decrease their reliance on new software licenses towards income generated from upgrades and product support
It motivates many user organizations towards alternatives such as outsourcing and application servicing
Recently a number of important ICT vendors have re-confirmed their commitment to application servicing in the context of the Utility Computing approach

Emergence of Utility Computing• Computing grid provides an ideal infrastructure for application
servicing• It can host a large number of ASP applications in a scalable and
reliable manner • Provides a more cost effective solution for hosting enterprise
applications than a set of independent servers each dedicated to a specific application
Role of Web Services • Web services are regarded as the enabling technology for the
integration of ASP applications, and for delivery of low-granularity application services

Comparison of traditional software license model Comparison of traditional software license model with ASP modelwith ASP model
Differen-tiator
ASP (SW as Service)
Traditional Approach (SW as License)
Design Designed from the outset for delivery as Internet-based service for a large number of customers (HW+SW architectures, business model).
Designed for implementation by specialist and for customer to operate and maintain.
Design and Technology Issues
Main characteristics
Application service provider controls all necessary ICT infrastructure (HW+SW) and delivers application functionality as a service to many customers.
Software vendor develops the application; the application is implemented on customer’s HW and customer is responsible for the operations.
© prof. Voříšek© prof. Voříšek 3232
Design and Technology Issues
Technological architecture
Multi-tenant architecture designed to run thousands of users from different user organizations on a scalable technological infrastructure.
Architecture suitable for deployment by individual company on a dedicated ICT infrastructure.
Service management
Applications with embedded service management, monitoring metering and security capabilities.
Typically must add service management, monitoring and metering features subsequent to product development.
Upgrades Frequent (every 3-6 month) upgrades possible. All customers are upgraded simultaneously resulting in significant cost reductions.
Infrequent, major updates (every 12-24 months). Both, provider and customer, have to implement version management process.
…
© prof. Voříšek© prof. Voříšek 3333
Business Issues
Readiness of the service
Short implementation cycle. Long implementation cycle due to complex implementation of HW, SW, and knowledge transfer to customer sites.
Availability of the service
The service is available from any location (globally).
Could be limited to single organization via intranet or client/server interface.
Scalability The volume of the services deli-vered (i.e. number of users sup-ported, number of transactions) can be scaled (up or down).
Configuration needs to support peak requirements, and cannot be scaled down.
Customi-zation
Typically limited. Extensive customization possible, but expensive.
Internal sour-ces utilization (people, tech-nology, etc.)
Only few internal sources used for ICT processes support. Most of the company sources are used for core business processes.
Many internal sources used for ICT processes support.
© prof. Voříšek© prof. Voříšek 3434
Business Issues
Costs of ICT Predictable, no investments required - operating costs only. The costs are highly correlated with the volume of services.
Both investments and operating costs. High overhead costs given by depreciation and amortizing of investments. The costs may not be correlated with volume of service delivered.
…
ICT sources utilization
ICT sources of the provider (HW, SW, ICT specialists) are used across all customers; provider has advantages of economies of scale.
ICT sources are used only for one organization.
ICT knowledge required at customer site
How to use ICT for competi-tiveness enhancement, avai-lable services at ICT market, SLA structure, and manage-ment of service delivery.
The same plus: wide spectrum of ICT knowledge. The required ICT knowledge is dependent on number of platforms and types of application used.
ICT management Issues
© prof. Voříšek© prof. Voříšek 3535
ICT management Issues
Evaluation of an application
The application can be evaluated before the purchase.
Application is evaluated after purchase, installation and customization.
Problem and change manage-ment proce-dures
Short feedback cycle – procedures enable almost immediate feedback. Support staff or programmers can directly identify and fix problems. Fixing a problem for one customer fixes it for everyone, which reduces support costs.
Problem solving is often indirect via intermediaries (VARs, SIs, etc). Patches and upgrades are implemented at individual customer sites. Costly and unreliable, as customers often delay installation of patches and upgrades.
Risks Loss of knowledge that could be useful in the future.
Stability of the provider (Exit strategy).
Systems integration – who should be responsible for?
Unsatisfactory customisation.
Stability of the provider – but not to the same extent as for ASP.
Technology backwardness. High TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership).

Comparison of software licensed model with ASP modelComparison of software licensed model with ASP model
The comparison makes a compelling argument for the ASP model as the next logical step in the IS/ICT evolution.
ASP model:• faster • cheaper• more flexible
