Abstract
Information technology has become the strategic weapon of market leaders everywhere for supporting; influencing and transforming the way companies do business. Applications Service Providers are capable of giving organizations of any size fast, predictable, affordable access to virtually any application. As a result, organizations are free to focus on the speed and competitiveness of their operations, unfettered by hardware, software, database, network and people-ware constraints. Under the ASP computing model, even the smallest, most resource constrained companies can access best-of-breed technology solutions to level the competitive playing field in today's global, networked economy. Fundamentally, the ASP movement is about business transformation. This thesis intends to determine the perfect traits for an ASP to apply them to a software package developed for collaboration purposes between geographically distributed teams.
