Process Automation	Information Dissemination	Marketing	Commerce	Subscription

Subscription solutions are applications or sites that people pay to use. If you have a killer idea for your industry, you can earn both revenue and acclaim. You might simply charge visitors to view some content, or provide a Web-based software application that people or organizations use for a fee — what is also known as being an Application Service Provider, or ASP. While subscription services closely overlap with commerce, information dissemination and, with ASPs, process automation, the key difference is that the product or service you provide is Web-based, versus simply using the Web as a conduit.
