The AIRSWEB application offered by Safety
Software Ltd (SSL) is often termed a 'web-based', 'Internet-based'
or 'IP-based' application (IP standing for Internet Protocol).
This simply means that AIRSWEB is accessed securely over
the Internet from our application server (or your Organization's
Intranet server) using web browser software such as Microsoft®
Internet Explorer.
A company such as SSL which uses Internet technology
to offer access to software applications and related services
that would otherwise be located on an Organization's own computers
is called an Application Service Provider (ASP). ASP services
are expected to become an important alternative, especially for
smaller companies that have low budgets for information technology.
