RELIEVING YOU OF THE BURDENS OF APPLICATION
MANAGEMENT
Companies continuously need more functionality, reliability and adaptability from the software applications
that power the enterprise. But for the IT department, meeting this demand is a growing challenge. Budgets
are tight; business requirements are dynamic and demand continuous focus. Ongoing regulatory changes
require software updates and portfolio maintenance. Skilled personnel with domain knowledge are in high
demand, while supporting legacy applications grows more difficult as the ranks of knowledgeable technical staff
dwindle. Meanwhile, economic conditions are requiring CIOs to reduce budgets, especially in the ârun/operateâ
functions that account for some two-thirds of IT spending. Compounding the pressure, IT is being asked to
focus more on innovation and strategic initiatives.
To meet these priorities, IT must lower costs while continuously improving operational efficiencies and quality
of service. SunGard Global Services offers application management services to help you overcome these
challenges. We provide full-service support and maintenance around your end-to-end business ecosystem
including SunGard products and surrounding applications, as well as other third-party products and custom-
developed applications on different technology platforms.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our services address all aspects of maintenance and support including 24/7 production support, minor and
major enhancements, and ongoing application maintenance. By utilizing our global delivery model, our
specialized domain experts and consultants are able to combine deep functional, technology and process
expertise critically needed to meet the full range of application management requirements. We can provide
a comprehensive program management office, technical experts and architects for ongoing support and
optimization. Service level agreements and comprehensive metrics reporting govern all aspects of our
service delivery.
Transitioning a complex IT portfolio to another partner and deriving measurable value out of it can be extremely
challenging. We leverage our IT portfolio assessment methodology to develop ROI models, cost benefit analysis
and a risk-averse outsourcing roadmap for your organization. Our comprehensive transition methodology
helps pave the way for a smooth handoff of application management. A structured service delivery model
and thorough application life cycle management processes help reduce cost and improve efficiency by
providing a framework for consistent support, maintenance and enhancements, as well as independent quality
assurance. Service-level agreement dashboards and knowledge management tools support continuous process
improvement and acquisition of application knowledge.
Our application management services allow you to focus on your core competencies, while realizing cost savings
through economies of scale. Leveraging our ISO 20000 and ISO 27000 processes, we can help you reduce
capital expenditures while ensuring long-term operating cost predictability and reduction.
