subject: Productivity And Success In It [print this page] Firstly what is an IT service provider? An IT service provider is a company that provides third party software and then provides a support system to implement and support that software such as Cisco Switching. An It service provider is similar to that of an application service provider (ASP) in that it provides efficient ways to procure applications. The main difference is that the IT provider tailors a package to meet the specific needs of the client and then meets the back office needs by out sourcing most if not all of the business process. This is attractive to small and mid size companies due to the low start up costs and low monthly fees. ASPs are generally much more expensive.
