Ever Wonder Why IT Can Never Seem to Catch Up?
In an accelerating world, the key challenge for IT organizations is keeping pace with the rate of change. The fact is, technology is changing at a faster rate than our human ability to adapt, yet IT is expected to enable the business by adopting new technologies faster than ever.
In order to keep pace with the technology curve, IT not only needs to anticipate change, it needs to set the pace. Is your team ready?
Insight + Flexibility + Acceleration = Success
Insight
NO INSIGHT
Without insight, IT can’t understand what the business needs. Your team is seen as out of touch, and the business starts to move around you. You never catch up.
FULL-ON INSIGHT
When IT has insight, it is out in front, taking full advantage of fast-changing technology to benefit the business. IT is driving innovation.
Flexibility
NO FLEXIBILITY
IT is locked in with inefficient staffing, budgeting challenges and inflexible support contracts. You can’t adapt to changing business needs.
FULL-ON FLEXIBILITY
IT can easily adjust to business demands by actively managing resources to the needs of the business. You can invest exactly where resources and budget are needed to take advantage of new opportunities.
Acceleration
NO ACCELERATION
When IT falls into the gap between its capabilities and the demands of the technology curve, the business stops listening. IT is considered irrelevant, and the business starts to work around you.
FULL-ON ACCELERATION
IT is seen as a business enabler and an integral part of the business. Your team is prescriptive, anticipating business needs and bringing solutions to the table to solve real business challenges.
Getting on the Technology Curve
For years, IT was able to stay ahead of change. But the gaps created by the accelerating technology curve are starting to show. It’s no longer enough for IT to just maintain the status quo; that’s a sure formula for falling further behind.
It’s clear that IT can no longer go it alone. You need a partner that can help enhance and optimize your operations and provide the right business insights to help your team keep pace. But not just any partner will do. Anything less than a true full-service partner leaves you short of the curve and falling further and further behind.
Application Management Services Can Help You Get There
It’s increasingly difficult for companies, both large and small, to “do it alone” without support from external partners. The complexity and speed of change in today’s IT environment requires an effective melding of both internal and external IT skills and technologies if you want to succeed. In fact, according to a study conducted by IDC, best-run companies tend to rely on outside partners more than others.
Engaging a strategic application management services partner is crucial. Working with a partner that delivers a true full-service approach that flexes with your needs, and anticipates industry and technology developments, will help IT to set the pace of change and keep ahead of the competition.

The Nature of AMS is Changing
Application Management Services has traditionally been viewed as a service designed to “keep the lights on,” playing an important role to increase operational efficiency, contain costs and free up internal resources. But in today’s fast-paced environment, simply “keeping the lights on” falls far short. This is why the AMS discussion is moving away from focusing on tactical efficiency gains toward finding a partner that can provide the necessary flexibility and ‘forwarding looking’ strategic capabilities to support business transformation and innovation.
