OUR END-TO-END APPLICATION MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES COVER THE ENTIRETY OF:

Application Assessment and Audit (Architecture, Design, Performance)

Application assessment and audit is a crucial process to evaluate the architecture, design, and performance of an application. This ensures that software systems function effectively and achieve their goals.

The assessment and audit should be an ongoing process, as software evolves. Regular audits ensure that the application aligns with business objectives, maintains security, and delivers optimal performance.

Problem Management and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Problem management and root cause analysis (RCA) are critical aspects of IT service management and software development. They play a crucial role in identifying and resolving issues systematically. The main objectives of problem management and RCA are to enhance service quality, decrease incidents, mitigate service disruptions, and improve the overall reliability of IT services and systems.

Performance Monitoring, Management, and Tuning

Efficient performance monitoring, management, and tuning are necessary for maintaining system availability, providing a positive user experience, and maximizing the value of IT investments. These processes should be seamlessly integrated into an organization's overall IT management and operational procedures.

Incident Investigation, Troubleshooting, and Management

Incident investigation, troubleshooting, and management are vital components of IT and systems administration. These processes are necessary for detecting, tackling, and fixing problems that may disrupt operations, affect service quality, and jeopardize security.

Release and Deployment Management

Integrated release and deployment management, combined with application systems management, development, and quality assurance (QA) services, offers a comprehensive approach to effectively plan, coordinate, and execute the release and deployment of software applications within an organization. This integration ensures smooth and controlled application releases that align with business goals, taking into account development, testing, and operational aspects.

Security Issues Identification and Fixes

Identifying and resolving security concerns is crucial for upholding a secure and robust IT environment. These concerns encompass a wide range of issues, including software and system vulnerabilities, as well as misconfigured settings that put sensitive data at risk.

Application Enhancement Concerning Request for Change (RFC) Implementations

The process of enhancing applications through Request for Change (RFC) implementations involves making improvements and updates to software based on submitted RFCs. RFCs are formal requests to modify an application in order to address specific requirements, resolve issues, or introduce new features.

Preventive and Proactive Maintenance and Support

Preventive and proactive maintenance and support are crucial elements of managing IT and infrastructure. Their main objective is to detect and resolve issues before they cause any downtime or disruptions, thereby ensuring the dependability and stability of systems and services. These maintenance and support practices play a vital role in IT operations, infrastructure management, and service delivery.

Application support and maintenance cost

When it comes to software support and maintenance, it's essential to grasp the factors that influence costs. While a general guideline suggests that app maintenance costs typically amount to around 15% of its development cost, the real practical expenses are intricately tied to factors such as software complexity, typical change requests number per period, ongoing enhancements, and security updates.

We suggest you rough guesses for different types of apps to give you an idea of possible maintenance costs. Remember, these are just estimates, and the actual cost for each specific project may vary based on its unique needs.
