Overview
The context of application operations within an enterprise has been redefined in today’s high-velocity, software-driven digital world. It’s a world where businesses constantly reinvent on an evolving technology stack with complex infrastructure landscape; where an enterprise is a convoluted amalgamation of legacy systems, digital apps and SaaS; and where customer experience and effectiveness perspective is as important as cost and efficiency.
The exponential rise in business and technological complexity and the varying pace of transformation in portfolios has made traditional, one-size-fits-all application management obsolete. In this fast-paced dynamic environment, enterprises are constantly evaluating novel approaches to address critical questions including:
- How do I increase efficiency and improve value in application support operations while my business processes are changing?
- How do I improve cycle time of processes and bring in a service-oriented culture in application support operations?
- How do I ensure uninterrupted IT and business continuity through resilient, reliable and predictable operations?
- How can I improve the quality of experience for internal and external stakeholders?
- How do I reduce my operating costs to drive self-funded digital transformation initiatives?
