On demand is the term for the way certain items are supplied, such as software, computing power or media. In case of software, the user receives exactly the functions and computing power needed - i.e. on demand. Software becomes a service. Precisely: several customers can individually and completely independent of each other access a central application via the Internet. The software no longer needs to be installed locally but, just like electricity, is obtained from a wall outlet. Since several customers and users all work with one infrastructure, the individual fixed costs are lower. In addition, the time and effort to implement hardware and software, maintenance and updates are centrally done for all customers, migration costs are a thing of the past. Driven by software manufacturers, on demand is the real-word advancement of the application service provider model so popular in the late 90s. Then, hosters had the idea to provide software centrally via an external server, however, the manufacturers' standard software was not able to independently service a large number of customers all at the same time.“ (Raimund Schlotmann, CEO ONVENTIS GmbH, 2005)
