Why Outsource the Maintenance of your on market system?
There are a number of compelling reasons. Some of them are as follow:
Create a Competitive Advantage
Most companies spend 25% of their IT budget on the development of new systems and 75% on maintenance of existing systems. By lowering the cost of lifecycle management of your existing systems you can allocate more of your IT budget to what is new and next.
Predictable Cost Structure
Many companies assume maintenance costs decrease over time. The accumulation of small updates overtime tends to gradually degrade the initial structure of applications making changes grow more difficult and costly overtime. By entering into a maintenance agreement you can accurately predict the cost over the lifetime of a system.
Allow You to Focus on What You Do Best
Within the lifetime of a system, there are bursts of activity as well as periods of comparable calm. Most software teams have a fixed number of developers – when issues in the field arise, developers are pulled from development of new system to fix issues of on market systems, and this is extremely disruptive to the development effort.
