ASP in the information institutions

Martin Vlček, Amaio Technologies; Pavel Kocourek, INCAD

There was a survey made by the top software application suppliers which found out what were the differences between the demands on information system in a large and medium sized enterprises. It revealed that there were nearly no differences. The only real difference was the amount of money available to the respective segments for purchasing and servising the appropriate system.

Libraries, archives, museums, etc are found in a similar situation. Their respective demands differ by the data capacity, nowadays almost nonsignificant, but there are no dissimilarities in data security, data structure complexity, application variability, etc. And particularly there are differences in their disposable finance resources.

ASP model gives the institutions, no matter how big they are and from which sector they come, access to the top knowledge systems.
