Application Service Provider and Software as a Service Agreements Line by Line: A Detailed Look at ASP and Saas Agreements and How to Change Them to Meet Your Needs

Written by two seasoned practitioners nationally known for their work across the breadth of information technology issues, Application Service Provider and Software as a Service Agreements Line by Line arguably provides the most up-to-date coverage of the current trends in this rapidly expanding area. Offering in-depth explanations of concepts, practical advice on negotiations, and suggestions for best practices, this book covers topics such as required scope of the license grant, definition of end-users, audit rights, escrow/release rights, service level requirements, and business continuity issues, as well as payment and dispute resolution issues for business critical applications contracted to third party vendors. This book also provides readers with crucial information surrounding issues that commonly effect integration of third party provider services within the workflow of the organization, such as implementation requirements, training/knowledge transfer, confidentiality/security of corporate information, compliance with corporate polices, and metrics for user satisfaction. Furthermore, by applying business-centric concepts to the negotiation process, the authors provide a systematic approach to effective risk allocation for both providers and users of ASP and SaaS, as well as alternative positions to resolve negotiation "log jams." Application Service Provider and Software as a Service Agreements Line by Line is a comprehensive and integrated book on this evolving and critical area of business process outsourcing and is truly an indispensable resource for both practitioners and would-be practitioners alike.

Most of the fuel at the South Pole (for generators, boilers, etc) is flown in on LC-130s. They load up 8,000 gallons at McMurdo, fly to the South Pole, unload somewhere between 2,500 and 3,500 gallons, and then fly back to McMurdo. The last couple weeks of the season are always pretty busy.

Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced [s?s]), sometimes referred to as "on-demand software," is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are typically accessed by users using a thin client, normally using a web browser over the Internet.
While practically every Internet service (such as Web search engine or web-based email) is driven by some underlying software, the term software as a service is often used in the context of business applications, and in some cases even more narrowly as software in a category which has on-premises software; i.e., equivalent applications that are installed in businesses' computer networks or personal computers.
SaaS has become a common delivery model for most business applications, including accounting, collaboration, customer relationship management (Crm), enterprise resource planning (Erp), invoicing, human resource management (Hrm), content management (Cm) and service desk management. SaaS has been incorporated into the strategy of all leading enterprise software companies.
