Custom Application Managed Services that empower innovation
Enterprises face ever increasing expectations from the next generation of custom applications. IT is expected to respond to and deliver custom applications that support multiple device form factors and deployment models. A competitive marketplace requires faster, shorter development cycles. And the need to grow and enter new markets while containing costs often require applications to be re-architected to support new delivery and business models.

Delivering this next generation of applications is a challenge when IT is constrained by budgets and a lack of skilled resources. This results in suboptimal tradeoffs in undertaking new initiatives versus maintaining and enhancing existing custom applications. Additionally, managing custom applications and providing ongoing support to the users, requires an understanding of the application, its dependencies, and related processes; and finding help with an IT partner who combines deep application expertise with mature and flexible delivery options is difficult.

Enterprise collaboration is becoming increasingly complex. IT is expected to deliver social and mobile collaboration that allows users to organize, search, rate and share knowledge across communities regardless of location or device. They need to be able to facilitate and extend processes, and provide visibility and transparency. Finally, they have to provide an always-on environment integrated with extended communities and data sources.

The skills required to meet today’s demands for enterprise collaboration are in short supply and difficult to retain. At a time when IT has limited bandwidth to implement line of business projects, the investment required to design and deploy the collaboration platform is only the start. Additional demands on IT to manage the platform and optimize enterprise collaboration as well as support the expectations of the business functions is expensive and resource intensive. Finally, management of governance process has become a tremendous challenge.
