The IT landscape of most businesses are becoming more complicated and rapidly expanding in order to provide creative solutions to their consumers. Your business too has a disruptor coming and its invisible to you. It can come and strike at an arm’s length and you need to step on the gas pedal to ensure your business stays growing even if there is disruption.
For this you need to address the underlying needs of continuous monitoring, updates and enhancements, maintenance of applications etc. for your customers. Companies are utilizing AMS to increase internal productivity and allow their IT staff ample time to focus on achieving business objectives in order to keep costs under control. This is a viable option, but is not always the best approach.
After all, would you start producing power in your business backyard or would you rather give it to an electric utility company? Would you rather build dams and study the efficiency of sewage or outsource it to your water and sewage utility company?
Information technology (IT) is no different.
Application managed services means outsourcing and getting ongoing support for your applications from a third party. This is the core service area that we offer our clients where we provide development, operations, functional and platform support to our customers.
Benefits: The biggest benefit of the Application Managed Services is scalability. Scaling networks takes significant coordination, manpower and new equipment. It’s a significant expense for any business, and it frequently diverts an IT team’s attention away from other critical tasks like security. When you need to extend or modernize your systems, managed services can help.
However, there are many additional benefits:
- Innovation – Application Managed Services enable development teams to devote more time to innovative ideas, make crucial business choices, and deliver support in a more timely and effective manner.
- Increased Performance – By coordinating design and improving the availability and performance of essential applications, Application Managed Services can help reduce maintenance costs and intervals while also increasing business performance and revenue streams.
- Business Continuity – Application Managed Services help in reducing the risk of IT downtime and increasing efficiency which allows your company to remain focused on the core business.
- Platform Stability – Through easier integration and integrated systems, Application Managed Services expedite development. Problems may be fixed more rapidly with DevOps, which improves cooperation and knowledge sharing across the Service Desk, Application Operations, and Application Development.
- Better end-user experience – Higher-quality applications will not only result in a better user experience, but also in more productive business interactions with internal and external users.
- Higher Productivity – Organizations that take a proactive approach to Application Management see a significant reduction in the number of man-hours spent in meetings on a monthly basis. This leads to a huge increase in IT staff productivity, since they can now service twice as many business users.
- Reduced need to rely on experts – Application Managed Services help you get the most out of your investment in people, processes, and technology. Even junior support engineers can be more productive in less time with so-called “factory-style” end-to-end application administration.
- Reduces total cost of ownership – Because fewer IT workers are required to manage problems, an Application Management approach focused on end-user experience allows IT teams to enhance productivity, which translates to lower operating costs as the number of problems and escalations drop.
