"aus der Steckdose" see explanation Explanation: Hi Ian, "aus der Steckdose" refers to the ASP model (ASP=Application Service Providing/Provisioning/Provider). I am not sure, perhaps, you can translate it literally? The explanation may help you find an English equivalent: ASP – Application Service Providing/Provisioning/ Provider. Begriffsdefinition* Application Service Providing heißt Vermieten von Anwendungen oder Programmfunktionalitäten. Ein Application Service Provider stellt Standardsoftware oder Software, die speziell für diesen Zweck entwickelt wurde, in einem Rechenzentrum bereit. Diese Software wird von einer Vielzahl von Anwendern genutzt. Die Bezahlung erfolgt nach einem Mietmodell, das sich entweder nach der Anzahl der getätigten Transaktionen (ausgehende Rechnungen, durchgeführte Gehaltsabrechnungen) richtet, dem „Pay-per-Use“, oder nach einem Pauschalmodell, zum Beispiel auf monatlicher Basis. Der Service Provider sorgt für Softwarelizenzen, Pflege und Update. Er stellt für die Nutzer den passenden Support mit einem vereinbarten Service-Level zur Verfügung. Der Zugriff erfolgt in der Regel mit einem Web Browser über das Internet, über ISDN oder eine andere Leitungs-Infrastruktur mit den notwendigen Sicherheitsmechanismen. ... http://www.lynx.de/php/obj/presse/lynx-letter/LYNX92000.pdf |

on tap Explanation: Hi Ian! Because they've put it inverted commas I don't think that it's a real name, but rather something they've made up to describe their ASP service. I like your "Plug and Go" suggestion - the best I could come up with between putting the kids to bed is "SAP R/3 on tap" - or maybe that's just me dreaming of draught Guinness ;-) |
