Application Maintenance
Your Web application keeps missing you. It has maintenance issues. It needs updates – regularly. But you can't be there for it all the time. You have better things to do.
You have a business to run.
A plan for maintaining your online application is just as important as the initial design. That's because application maintenance costs consume 50 to 70 percent of IT budgets. In many cases, that's much more than what it cost to build the initial application. And we know you'd rather put that money into growing your business, not just maintaining it.
Common Questions
How can my business decrease the time it takes to make changes and obtain fixes for my online applications? What's the most effective way to reduce costs associated with maintaining our applications?
What can we do to establish change management policies and minimize unscheduled downtime?
Every day we employ the best practices of change management – coupled with processes from release and deployment management – to maintain the numerous Web sites and applications we've built for our clients. And we can do the same for you.
Services
Debugging and Enhancing Applications: Getting consistent and reliable work means having to do less rework. The same senior engineers who create our sophisticated applications also perform application management.
Enterprise Change Management and Issue Tracking: Our change management process and tools should really be called “quality” management. It ensures that all the requests for changes to your application are managed and implemented on time and on budget.
Release and Deployment Management: The success of a release depends on having the right quality assurance checks and procedures in place for the entire process, not just days before the release. From design to deployment, you’ll have experienced consultants showing you how to keep an eye on quality and make the most out of your available resources.
Hosting coordination and management: We speak the language and know how to watch the bottom line. We can help you select a hosting provider and establish a maintenance and management plan that fits your business and system requirements.
When you improve the quality of your application maintenance, you’re lowering unnecessary costs and reducing the amount of resources wasted during downtime. Whether you need help engineering your updates and releases or just debugging a vital application to your business, we have the tools and experience you can rely on.
