Healthcare providers and IT departments, under pressure to contain costs and cut budgets, are being asked to do more with less. He presents key findings from a healthcare provider survey regarding ASPs.
The congruence of two key emerging drivers will dramatically alter healthcare. One, all vertical businesses are moving to E-commerce and the use of the Web to touch customers. Two, the development of Web applications requires an infrastructure of high bandwidth and staffing with up-to-date Internet skills. Bandwidth will eventually
become a commodity just as phone service is today. However, the staffing problem most likely will not be ameliorated except through outsourcing of applications development. This represents opportunities for Web sub-portals, IT outsourcing and professional
services firms, Web hosting companies, and Application service providers(ASPs).
