Corel Application Service Provider (ASP) / Electronic Software Delivery
(ESD) Programs
Electronic delivery of software and services is a significant trend that
is shaping the future of computing. New channels for software procurement
are evolving into new channels, as small-to-mid-size businesses increasingly
view software as a collection of services rather than as a singular product.
Corel is positioned at the forefront of this movement as we continue our
commitment to our existing vertical channels and pursue opportunities
in emerging markets. A key model in this new paradigm of electronic software
delivery is the Application Service Provider (ASP). ASP’s are defined
as organizations that deliver software-based services across a wide-area
network from an independent third-party in return for payment. The ASP
market has exploded in the last 12 months, prompting industry analysts
such as Forrester, IDC and GIGA to predict that this market could grow
to between $2-$26 billion. In fact, GIGA estimates that this market will
represent over 50 per cent of all software purchases and deliveries by
the year 2002. To learn more about Corel’s ASP intiatives, please
read our ASP Briefing Document. (231KB

WordPerfect® Family Pack (released November 29, 1999)
Just in time for the holidays, Corel developed an easy-to-use, feature-packed
suite specifically tailored to novice computer users looking for the ideal
home software package. WordPerfect® Family Pack helps users create
professional-looking letters, reports, newsletters, school projects, greeting
cards, party decorations and certificates. This package also allows users
to keep track of home assets, the family budget and more.
WordPerfect Family Pack is part of Corel’s vertical market segmentation
strategy—building on the foundation of the WordPerfect line, and
offering a package that effectively meets the needs of the home user.
A study by IDC indicated that the home productivity software market, while
already very prominent and growing rapidly, is still under-penetrated
with very few vendors successfully meeting the needs of the home user.
WordPerfect Family Pack is expressly designed to meet the needs of the
home market and will be competing in the same niche as Microsoft’s
Works Suite. For WordPerfect Family Pack media materials, please click
here. For more product
