"The worldwide hosted application management (formerly known as ASP) services market is experiencing strong growth, as customers rediscover an almost forgotten delivery model. Hosted AM services have a unique value proposition that allows customers to gain many of the benefits of on demand without sacrificing the functionality and integration capabilities of their existing investments in enterprise applications.
