An Application Service Provider (ASP) is a third-party company that delivers, manages, and hosts software applications and related IT services to multiple clients remotely over a network, typically via the Internet. Rather than purchasing, installing, and maintaining software on local servers or individual computers, organizations access these applications through web browsers or secure network connections on a subscription or usage-based pricing model.
