Independent Software Vendors
APS creates a new revenue opportunity for both industry hosting providers and independent software vendors by introducing a "pluggable" approach to distributing SaaS applications. Once packaged in the APS format by a software vendor, an application can be easily "plugged" into an infrastructure of any hosting provider that implemented the standard "socket" for the APS applications.
