4 Ways Your Application Management Services May Be Broken
Is your application management services (AMS) model broken?
And are your application management tickets lost in an abyss? Do issues that are “fixed” keep breaking again when business processes shift? Are you losing valuable IT time ─ and budget ─ on AMS SLA oversight while questioning the skills of your managed services providers?

Rimini Street stepped in and significantly reduced clients’ overall open incident volumes. For one client, open incidents were reduced by 75% in one year!1

The model for traditional application managed services (AMS) is broken. It’s dated and complex with a time and materials contract structure and a “man-hours” billing system.

Application Management Services For The Modern Software World
Despite significant investments in traditional Application Management Services (AMS), IT teams have failed to see the benefits promised: the ability to offload IT backlogs so internal teams can focus on game-changing initiatives. Why?
• AMS models are increasingly complex, with segregated application management and support layers provided by multiple vendors, leaving the internal IT teams mediating escalations
• Some AMS vendors underprice their contracts using low-cost, inexperienced resources then make up their profit margins by pushing expensive “out of scope” billable consulting – causing scope creep where IT teams pay more for what they already own
This 30-minute webinar from Rimini Street will explore new options IT teams have to modernize and manage their business-critical applications. Attendees will learn why a simple shift to an integrated support + AMS model can reduce the burden of day-to-day administration, improve IT’s ability to deliver on enhancement requests, and increase user adoption of SAP, Salesforce and other ERP and CRM systems.
