IBM AMS Offerings
IBM Application Management Services encompasses a set of complementary offerings that can be deployed separately or together. These offerings extend from management of an organisation’s entire application portfolio to 'toe in the water' services relevant across a particular set of applications.
From multi-channel integration to customer relationship management, we can provide assistance with a single application, a subset of non-core applications, or the entire application portfolio.
IBM Application Management Services Offerings are focused in several critical areas:
Application Portfolio Management Services to assist you in strategically managing and reengineering your application portfolio, and defining an appropriate longer term portfolio strategy and investment plan.
Legacy Transformation Services to help you leverage the value of your existing legacy applications and equip you with an application portfolio to accommodate business change, support enterprise-wide, web-enabled sharing of business and customer data, and drive ROI through more efficient maintenance and operation of legacy applications.
Application Services for packaged (ISV) applications (SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems, etc.), web-enabled applications and traditional mainframe/legacy applications.
Portfolio-level services -- a full spectrum of application development, maintenance, support and related services for your portfolio of applications.
Application Management Advisory Services -- to assist in identifying and evaluating options for increasing the value of application development and maintenance.
IBM AMS offers the most integrated approach to application management services in the industry -- backed by IBM’s extensive global resources, technical innovation out of IBM Research, and the deep industry knowledge of IBM Business Consulting Services and a global network of partners.
