According to a Vanson Bourne survey of 449 IT managers from UK-based small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), 59% do not keep patches up to date due to the time necessary to do so. 61% are paying for software licenses they do not use due to strict agreements that do not allow SMBs to cancel licenses after an employee leaves or machines break down. Application service providers could offer some relief. Inty, the internet management firm behind the survey, recommend application service providers (ASP), but many SMBs (46%) say the ASP model does not offer reliable access to critical applications.
