Of crucial negative impact within the business development process acting as a hinder for growth appear barriers. In the same way as growth and business development rely upon integrating multifaceted factors, this complexity can also be traced regarding barriers. Barriers at the context of business development arise because of a wide spectrum of factors. Many researchers handle this complexity by categorizing different barriers. The above addressed complexity matters that arises is by Shaw & Conway (2000, cited in Morrisson et.al 2003 s
partially expressed via external and internal factors which multidimensional characteristics altogether provide an impact upon SME business orientation to growth. As external factors appears for instance knowledge regarding international and national (market) movements and the market etc. while internal factors for example are more about company control systems, employee specialization, flexibility, attitude and financial situation etc. For a more detailed
discussion see for instance Barth (2004). Here we can find an overarching view regarding barriers that likewise to common mainstreams in the research appears based upon mentioned external and internal barriers. Among Barths work we can also identify a contribution to management aspects related to competence. We have in our work been inspired by for instance Barth and also Shaw & Conway although we are not dealing with competence
Of purchasing hosting and maintaining
a software program on its own facilities, and gives its clients shared access to the produced user interfaces. As an alternative to hosting the same program in-house, the client organizations subscribe and get the application services either through the Internet or a dedicated network connection.The ASP model basically lets companies satisfy their self-information demands while still letting an outside vendor handle the burden of systems
deployment or execution.It provides efficient control of the deployment costs and hazards, therefore lessening the complexity related with the conventional make-or-buy approach. On the one hand, an ASP can amortize expenses over its whole client base, therefore enabling it to increase quality of services, security, and risk-reducing measures that particular clients may
find cost-prohibitive. Conversely, client companies avoid the expenses related to conventional software deployment including hardware investment, software license fees, and staff and training of system management specialists. They stay away from nightly data backups, monthly software updates, data loss resulting from local hard disk or server failures, and

group. Eliminating the need to oversee hardware, software, data, and personnel will allow them to concentrate on their main operations and free resources for mission critical projects. Applications can be operational in a few weeks rather than months or even years by removing the requirement to assess, buy, install, and test hardware and software. Salesforce.com is one effective ASP that I know of. They offer instruments for client relationship management.
Customers have, however, usually been unhappy with ASP products; many have seen their ASPs go out of business (Susarla, Barua & Whinston 2003; Wendy, Currie, Philip & Graham 2007). This is not just because the ASPs were not financially feasible but also because the service model principles were still somewhat fresh to the software industry and the ASP model itself had some rather significant practical problems that hampered their general
acceptance. First, especially for data flow between corporate partners, the ASP model fell short of meeting information integration needs. Business partners operating several applications are not unusual. One considered as a flaw of the ASP model the growing complexity of integration with other applications. Second, the ASP model raised trust and security issues for many businesses. Their essential data on a remote server managed by
Unidentified providers over the open
Internet was not something they wanted. Third, the centralized and standardized management of the ASP model lost many companies their ability to control the application.
Software application outsourcing over the Internet will become a big wave as the outsourcing trend in labor and capital keeps on. Though the ASP model had a challenging beginning, its bsic ideas—virtualization and "on-demand rent"—give it an interesting advantage. Those
who do not view software as a service (SaaS) may not survive in an increasingly competitive market for companies which provide enterprise solutions (Miranda 2005). Since 2003, Web Services—the most exciting technology available today—have attracted a lot of interest. Unlike ASP, where the full systems or programs are offered as a service, Web Services offer components for usage. There are not user interfaces among these parts. Rather, they feature
an API, or system or application programming interface. The interface of a service is network-addressable. Web Services stress interoperability and may be dynamically identified and used since they are small, independent components of programs representing business functions or business services accessible by another program remotely. Usually, a Web Service model is presented to show how a Web Service operates.This methodology calls for four separate

criteria. Created Web Services are registered under UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration), so facilitating user access to them. Service publication and discovery under the UDDI is governed. Like the Yellow Page, every registered Web Service has a description published in the WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) about the location of the service and what type of operations (or methods) it provides and how one may utilize them. Rather
than cryptic binary strings, all messages are written in XML (Extensible Markup Language)-based language following SOAP (Simple Object Access) coding and formatting standards. This technique allows Web Services to interact with other applications residing on multiple platforms and maybe created in many programming languages. Therefore, Web Services are autonomous, platform-independent computational elements that can be described, published,
iscovered, coordinated, programmed using standard protocols for the aim of creating networks of cooperating applications distributed both inside and outside of organizational boundaries. A web application calling the Web Service does not interact with the Web Service directly. Rather, the communication is achieved via a proxy class housed on the local web
