theICEway has four fundamental pillars: cloud strategy, technology projects, contact centre solutions, and application managed services. For those who may not be well-versed in the world of technology, these terms can seem daunting at first. However, there is no need to feel overwhelmed – this blog aims to provide you with a clear understanding of what application managed services (one of the pillars) are and how they play a crucial role in theICEway's operations.
What is AMS?
AMS are services that are provided by external organisations to assist businesses in managing and maintaining their applications effectively. These services encompass a wide range of support, including troubleshooting, updates, enhancements, and ongoing maintenance to ensure seamless operation and optimal performance. By leveraging AMS, businesses can focus on their core operations while entrusting their application support needs to experienced professionals, ultimately driving efficiency and productivity within their organisation.
Why is AMS useful?
- -It’s very easy for AMS providers to adjust the scale of their operation to align with constantly changing need of their client. This allows organisations to adjust their support levels while also minimising cost.
- -It’s a common misconception to think that outsourcing to an application managed service provider is going to be ridiculously expensive because this is simply not the case. Organisations will be saving money on the overhead costs associated with internal IT bandwidth and technology tools. Since AMS providers have achieved operational efficiency, the recipient organisation can utilise the provider’s economies of scale.
- -theICEway proactively monitor KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and address issues such as poor resource allocation, bottlenecks and implement the best practices.
- -Cyber security is more complex than ever, it can be extremely difficult for organisations to protect themselves if they have an outdated security system. AMS providers will perform regular security audits and implement strong security measures.
