Why Wireless ASPs Are Slow In Getting Traction
The top reasons that executives mentioned for not using a wireless ASP are the following:
Concerns about the security of the data
Perceived lack of control
Expense
Performance and reliability of the application service
Additionally, conversations with executives reveal two areas in which U.S. end users differ significantly from European end users. U.S. end users are more concerned about the lack of control that comes with outsourcing to a wireless ASP, whereas end users in Europe are more concerned about the expense of working with a wireless ASP. This is probably a consequence of the smaller overall IT budgets in Europe, and the perception that wireless ASPs are expensive.
