Application Service Providing enables Excelsior to host any network-enabled application for you.  Software offered using an ASP model is also sometimes called On-demand software. The need for ASPs has evolved from the increasing costs of specialized software that have far exceeded the price range of small to medium-sized businesses.  The growing complexities of software have led to huge costs in distributing software to end-users.  Through Excelsior’s ASP, the complexities and costs of such software can be reduced.  In addition, the issues of upgrading software are eliminated for you, because Excelsior maintains 24/7 technical support, physical and electronic security and support to help you maintain business continuity.
