Abstract

The main challenges to information technology applying in small and middle enterprises in China can be summarized to the three aspects: the financial problem, the lack of professional knowledge in IT, and the shortage of resource sharing and communication between the enterprises. Based on the analysis of small and middle enterprises in China, this paper presents a virtual enterprise oriented ASP solution using software leasing technology. The two innovative ideas in software leasing have been described in details, which are terminal service and network authentication. An application architecture using the software leasing has been also included in this paper
