What are ASP or SaaS-delivered recruitment systems?

An ASP (Application Service Provider) is perhaps old terminology for what is known now-a-days as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or "on-demand" software. The model incorporates a third party entity, the vendor, which manages and distributes software-based services and solutions to customers remotely over the Internet. The user of the service uses a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Firefox, to access the resources through their Internet connection, in real-time, 24 hours a day. Bajarang recruitment software is a good example of the SaaS delivery model, which implies that the vendor takes care of all maintenance, upgrades and backups to ensure peak performance of the software.
Benefits:

* Extra stablity and security through the high performance global Tier-1 network; which is why the majority of corporate clients choose this solution.
* The convenience and affordability of payment based on a monthly investment, rather than a one-off lump sum.
* Faster and easier to implement than the traditional client/server model, where access is obtained by a program on the client's computer and the shared data is stored on the company's server.
