Software on Demand, typically referred to as "Application Service Provider" (abbreviated as ASP), is a third-party entity that manages and distributes software-based services and solutions to customers across a wide area network from a central data centre. In essence, ASPs are a way for companies to outsource some (and in some cases all) aspects of their information technology needs.
