RELIEVING YOU OF THE BURDENS OF APPLICATION
MANAGEMENT
Companies continuously need more functionality, reliability and adaptability from the software applications
that power the enterprise. But for the IT department, meeting this demand is a growing challenge. Budgets
are tight; business requirements are dynamic and demand continuous focus. Ongoing regulatory changes
require software updates and portfolio maintenance. Skilled personnel with domain knowledge are in high
demand, while supporting legacy applications grows more difficult as the ranks of knowledgeable technical staff
dwindle. Meanwhile, economic conditions are requiring CIOs to reduce budgets, especially in the “run/operate”
functions that account for some two-thirds of IT spending. Compounding the pressure, IT is being asked to
focus more on innovation and strategic initiatives.
To meet these priorities, IT must lower costs while continuously improving operational efficiencies and quality
of service. SunGard Global Services offers application management services to help you overcome these
challenges. We provide full-service support and maintenance around your end-to-end business ecosystem
including SunGard products and surrounding applications, as well as other third-party products and custom-
developed applications on different technology platforms.
