The consortium will sponsor research, foster standards and work to educate the marketplace about the benefits of the evolving ASP delivery model.

"Joining the ASP Industry Consortium puts Corel at the leading edge of what is happening in this exciting new area," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation.
