WHAT IS AN ASP? An Application Service Provider (ASP) supplies applications, the IT computer infrastructure, and the necessary support services to deliver them to customers on a subscription basis. ASP's typically host applications at a remote data center and deliver them to customers via the Internet or a private network. With CONTINUUM as your ASP, your CORRIDOR® application and your data are stored at a local Austin, TX hosting site. CONTINUUM provides full data security, including multi-level firewall & data encryption and data backups. You provide a basic IT infrastructure, including PC's, Local Area Networks (LAN), internet connectivity and support, and CONTINUUM provides the rest. Your data is delivered across a reliable internet connection to your facility or facilities. WHY USE AN ASP? Lower Cost of Management and Operation Since the task of managing and running CORRIDOR® on an on-going basis is CONTINUUM's responsibility, your cost for maintaining and managing CORRIDOR® is much lower.
