The ASP developed and maintain the Portable Application Description (PAD) format used to allow software authors to provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way. As of 2021, the PAD file specification was utilized by over 40,000 software publishers and a 1000+ PAD supported software catalog websites.

The final release of the PAD specification, v4.0 was released to the public domain as of January 2022. The ASP also played a role in making FILE_ID.DIZ files a de facto standard. In 2011, the ASP purchased the rights to the Software Industry Conference from the . The conference was renamed ISVCon. After a 34-year run, the ASP ceased operations on December 31, 2021, following a membership decision to dissolve the organization. (en)
