Application managed services

Solutions for streamlined application management

Organizations today face numerous challenges in managing their complex application landscapes. With the increasing complexity of business applications, IT teams are burdened with the need to ensure system availability, performance, and security while addressing evolving business requirements. Manual and fragmented processes often result in inefficiencies, higher costs, and limited agility. Growing business demands and higher customer expectations make the onset of Augmented Intelligence-led Managed Services (AIMS) inevitable.

The challenge lies in optimizing the management of applications throughout their lifecycle. From application monitoring and incident management to application performance optimization and continuous improvement, organizations need help maintaining a seamless and responsive IT environment. This leads to operational inefficiencies, higher maintenance costs, and missed opportunities for innovation.

  • Lack of predictable and secure operations (focus on security within operations, issues with geo-specific regulations)
  • Struggle to meet high customer demands (quicker and faster change deployment and feature delivery)
  • Reduce lights-on budget and invest in transformation
  • Inefficient and distributed operations
  • Operational misalignment to business expectations
  • Aging infrastructure and traditional/monolithic applications lead to maintenance difficulties and a lack of predictability.

Operations optimization takes you from Lights-on to Predictive operations while removing operational toil. Key levers to achieve this:

EEMS framework:

They accompany the core support staff and are focused on toil elimination by building bots by leveraging AI or simple automation. 

ERASe:

Eliminate, Reduce, Automate, and Simplify enables hyper-efficient team and predictable service delivery by eliminating waste or excess, reducing MTTR (Mean time to recover) and dependence through intelligent automation and simplification. 

Shift-left / shift-right:

Shifting left to the L1 helpdesk/contact center teams through enhanced Knowledge Management such as online FAQs and chatbots vs. Shifting right, which focuses on problem management practices to deliver permanent resolution via the application.

XLAs:

Experience Level Agreements. Adjusting new-age SLOs/SLIs to XLAs that are aligned with the client's business objectives and will be dynamic
