Application Management Services (AMS)
Information technology complexity, the ever-evolving technologies and solutions, and the demand for stabilized support are increasing on daily basis. Three or four decades ago, complex business processes were understood by only a handful of people who had been with the company a long time. However, just as people are making mistakes, software and hardware make errors, too. Therefore, every company must have an application support organization to ensure that these business applications run successfully.
There can be a lot of issues with Application Management Services (AMS):
- Transition from Sales pitch to delivery
- Not getting what you pay for
- Poor Communication
- Not understanding/defining quality
- Not establishing relevant metrics
- Over committed resources
- Poor business process and Industry knowledge
- Internal prioritization of project and requirement
- Loss off commination between business and IT
- Not establishing effective governance
- No methodology for managing change
From the outside, it might seem as if the application support group fixes errors and not much more. This perception is not correct. The key to success is to have a Application Management Services (AMS) partner that is committed to you company success and plays a pivotal role for long term success.
