Application Maintenance & Support Services


With businesses constantly evolving, it is imperative for organizations to drive changes to the application environment, while maintaining existing mission critical IT applications and infrastructure. Nous’ tailor-made application maintenance and support services aim to reduce system outages and improve the performance and efficiency of the application portfolios. Our mature project management processes and application maintenance services optimize cost and ensure high service levels.

In a technology driven business world, change is the only constant. Technology is transforming business continuously by levelling the playing field and reducing entry barriers. To stay relevant, organizations need to be proactive in embracing technology to manage changing consumer expectations, new consumption models, smarter products, mergers and acquisitions, improved channels, and impact of digitization.

In this fast-paced dynamic environment, coupled with shrinking IT budgets, CIOs are challenged with balancing the critical need to constantly monitor defects and reduce the efforts invested in managing applications. More specifically, CIOs are constantly evaluating novel approaches to address critical questions including:

  • How do I increase efficiency and improve value in application support operations while my business processes are changing?
  • How do I improve cycle time of processes and bring in a service-oriented culture in application support operations?
  • How can I improve the quality of experience for my business users?
  • How do I reduce my operating costs to drive self-funded IT transformation initiatives?
