Application Development & Maintenance
Studies show that maintenance and support of existing applications typically consumes 50 to 80% of the IT Application Budget. The components which put such undue strain on IT budgets can be broadly grouped as:
- Dedicated specialists on your payroll whether required full-time continuously or not, combined with ad hoc, expensive consultants and contractors
- Workstations, equipment, facilities and training also add to the strain.
- Time and effort required to manage these applications become a significant burden, to the point where critical resources are diverted from other initiatives - creating a negative effect on growth and profitability.
