Microsoft said Monday it is shipping a packaged solution meant to enable third-parties to easily offer hosted application services via the Web.
"[The] Microsoft Solution for Windows-based Hosting for Applications Version 1.0 . . . provides independent software vendors and hosting service providers with the platform, tools and best practices to deliver software as a service," the company said in a statement.
The package is meant to supply software, tools and guidance that ISVs can use to design service-enabled software applications. That includes handling user provisioning, performance monitoring, usage tracking and reporting and service aggregation.
