| Privacy and Security: | | We are a private foundation of many independent private companies where security is of paramount importance to our customer relationships. | | The sensitive nature of our customers data demands that excessive levels of privacy and security are applied without the possibility of a data leak. | | Even the publication of a telephone list would be a data breach and a data leak that could be exploited by criminals and subject people to potential attack. |
| Group: | | The ASP is a private company that can stay private and independent by contracting roles to many associate private independent companies within a federation of like minded private independent companies. The ASP will not employ any staff when that role can be more efficiently contracted to a professional company who has people dedicated and motivated to excell in that role. Where a company needs 20 people to rapidly complete a project, the ASP is willing and able to contract 20 experts to complete that project on-time, on-budget and to the highest professional standards. In all cases, roles are assigned to companies that are owned by their staff, are highly motivated and well able to a more effective service than any in-house team. |
| Brand: | | The ASP is NOT a brand and the ASP have chosen to work in the business-to-business sector where our customers have brand names. Each customer has their own bespoke application service with their own brand name and copyright. |
| Studio Service Provider: | | The ASP is a service provider with its own print, graphics and video studio with specialised equipment that enable the rapid delivery of your business requirements. If you want a 20 foot banner printing, 1000 images optimized for web sites or a short training movie, the ASP have the equiment, studio and experts who can rapidly deliver professional results - time after time. | | One part is the studio that is also known as 485 Solutions. The ASP quickly identified that the cost of web site development was more dominated by the cost of graphics than the cost of programming. What may look like a small graphic image on a web page is likely to cost more than the cost of preparing all the other text on the same web page. In addition, if that small image is not professionally prepared and rendered, the download time for the web page could become excessive and cause the web page to loose customers. | | The old print shop continues to thrive, but will be overtaken by its video services as the future of Internet TV will dominate this decade. Short movies with placement products may replace advertisements as You Tube, Hula and Fliker become main stream and subscription Internet TV replaces over-the-air TV. |
| Application Service Provider: | | We are an application service provider with information engineers who can rapidly assemble your bespoke application service. Application services have been built for companies in all parts of thw world, so multi-language, multi-currency capabilities are build into the architecture. | | One part of the ASP is its Information engineers who have mastered application development without programming using Information Engineering Methods that reduce logic to data in tables. Application services are provided to match each companies bespoke set of unique business requirements; we do not believe in one-size-fits-all package solutions that do not offer a real competitive advantage. | | In general, the ASP do not directly charge for development or maintenance; development is treated as a cost of marketing to prove by demonstration that your bespoke business requirements can be provided in a few weeks. Rather than deliver a leather bound quotation and slick storyboard presentation with promises of may happen one day in the future, we will demonstrate your bespoke application service fully operational in a very secure environment, ready for you to begin gaining business benefits. | | Continual Improvements are a fundamental part of all application services so your services can evolve at the same time as your business; your computer services will never hold you back to take advantage of a new business opportunity. The ASP are able to provide continual improvements because of the very high quality of application service provided. While most competitors are obliged to charge more for maintenance than for development, the ASP are able to provide highly flexible application services that are easy to continually upgrade and keep in step with the business. |
| Internet Service Provider: | | The ASP operates many secure data centers that run thousands of application services for hundreds of companies. Application services began with a military bias, but that has grown to freight, transport, energy, insurance and a wide range of booking applications. | | Like an iceburg, the ASP data center infrastructure is its massive hidden asset that enables automated procedures to generate solutions that other just dream about. By renting space in the UK Internet backbone data centers, risks are minimised as power supplies are replicated, Internet connections are repliciaed, physical security is of the highest level and no client computers are connected to our racks of servers. By renting space in multiiple date centers in different parts of the UK, in the event that one data center became unusable, application services simply switch to another data and business continues. Data is continually replicated and sent though encrypted message switching tunnels to other data centers; so traditional backup is avoided and many secure copies of all your data is always available in the cloud. |
