An Application Service Provider (ASP) is a third-party entity that delivers and manages software applications to customers over the internet or a private network. Rather than purchasing and installing software locally, organizations access these applications remotely through web browsers or thin clients, with the ASP handling all hosting, maintenance, updates, and technical support.
