As results of this project, various industries adopted the ASP applications of which the performance was enhanced, and then the competitiveness of the ASP vendors in Korea was increased. The purpose of this study is to make a strategy of the penetration into China market for ASP services which have competitive advantages. This study uses various research methods such as questionnaire survey, visiting SMEs in china and making interviews. This study shows the current status of Chines ASP market, the several cases of using ASP services, and questionnaire analyses(service recognition, service requirement and factors and infrastructure, business environment and supporting organizations etc) of ASP demand.

This paper presents the business model and system functionalities of a B2B e-marketplace solution that not only can overcome some problems of the public e-marketplace, but also can be applicable to both public and private types of e-marketplaces. This solution is different from the most of the public e-marketplace solutions that their main sources of revenue are transaction commissions or transaction fees through the third-party intermediation. Instead, this solution provides an ASP (Application Service Provider) functionality for direct, disintermediated purchasing and sales-related transactions between suppliers and buyers. With this functionality, suppliers and buyers electronically commerce with each other without the disclosure of their transactions as well as transaction commissions.

새로운 패러다임은 소유에서 접근으로 변모하고 있으며, IT분야에서는 특히 소유보다는 접근과 아웃소싱이라는 새로운경영 패러다임이 형성되고 있다. ASP(Application Service Provider)는 소프트웨어의 구입보다는소프트웨어의 사용권을 취득하고 이를 네트워크를 통해 서비스하는 비지니스 모델이 도입되고 있다. 즉, 일종의 소프트웨어 임대사업이라고 할 수 있는 ASP는 기본적으로 패키지 프로그램을 구입하는 것보다 저렴하게 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Application service provider(ASP) model is emerging as a new form of application outsourcing. ASP model may be attractive for small companies and even some medium-sized companies because these companies lack appropriate resources and technical expertise to develop and operate their information system. However, studies of ASP model have so far been neglected. Service quality is argued to be a crucial success factor for ASP, but yet there is not an empirically validated instrument for measuring ASP service quality. Therefore, this paper aims to develop and test a model for measuring ASP service quality. In order to accomplish these, SERVQUAL that has developed in marketing area were adapted to the context of this study. The research sample was designed by randomly selecting 300 different companies from the database that listed up the small companies participating in "ASP based e-business project for small enterprises". 240 usable responses were received by interview. The results are that reliability and tangibility impact user performances and satisfaction more than any of the service quality dimensions.

Recently, a market size for IT outsourcing has grown. As internet technology has been developed for accessing information resources, information systems have become internet-based, which is called an ASP(Application Service Provider); evaluating the performance for ASP becomes important. Therefore, this paper attempts to investigate the salient characteristics of ASP. An ASP success model is proposed based on information systems success models found in the literature. Our model is tested through a survey from 291 small companies. LISREL is used to demonstrate the suitability of our model, and the success factors for ASP are also investigated. Our result is likely to help provide useful guidelines for the successful ASP implementations.

This paper propose an expanded ASP exclusive development framework method. We applied a module to the suggested method which suit to develope ASP. Proposed method is a kind of module, which manages MVC develope methodology and treats Query and ASP information as a XML. It has flexibility which meets the client's request quickly. Using inherited base model which previously exist in template source, developer only concerned with development methodology so that they can reduce development time and reinforce a integrity of system. We proposed these improvements as a framework. Experimental results validate our scheme, showing a fewer number of files and a better flexibility than other development method, and also about 29% of program code has been reduced.
