[ID#] 47 [Author(s)] Maria Woerndl; Philip Powell; Margi Levy [Abstract] This paper reports on early findings from exploratory research on application service provision (ASP) in UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are known to be relatively inflexible in their use of information systems (IS) and information technology (IT) yet ASP, a form of IT sourcing enabled by networking capabilities, may promote SME flexibility. Flexibility issues arising in SMEs when ASP is deployed are presented, highlighting the challenges faced. A way of exploring flexibility through IS in SMEs is introduced and case data is used to explore its validity. [Title]
