- The millions of small businesses in the United States shelled out more than $57 billion for computer hardware, operating systems and software in 1998, according to research by Cahners In-Stat Group. Also, according to Cahners In-Stat Group, small business spending on computer software will grow significantly over the next few years, jumping to $44 billion by 2002. This spending will shift toward application services since SMBs cannot afford the time, staff or cost of operating their own systems. This is the genesis of the ASP marketplace.
