About Application Service Providers

Application Service Providers (ASP) make their applications available to users remotely using the internet and web browsers.  Many users today have web-based email accounts.  To read and send email, you only need an internet connection and a web browser.  These email applications are just one example of remote applications made available using the internet.

There are several advantages to applications delivered over the web -- no software to install and maintain locally, always up-to-date applications, and generally lower costs.  ASP-provided web applications make advanced software available to a larger group of potential users anywhere in the world.  To the organization, ASP-provided learning management systems allow the internal IT team to focus on other important projects while still delivering valuable, needed applications to the learners and providers.  

TrainingForce.com was launched in 2000 and our ASP-provided learning management systems continues to grow each year.  Prior to 2000, TrainingForce was available as a client-server application, installed locally at the organization.  Although the majority of customers make use of our hosted application, TrainingForce is available for local installation, as needs require.
