Why consider an Application Managed Service

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, businesses face the growing challenge of managing their processes and infrastructure efficiently while keeping costs under control. Whether driven by cost concerns, productivity requirements, reorganisations or new priorities and focusses, there’s a rising level of interest in managed services throughout finance and procurement.
 
This is predominantly due to the efficiency and scalability gains, cost control, and the ability to “tap the knowledge and experience” of a team of experts. Technology is a valuable asset in achieving gains, but there’s still room for growth, and the catalyst for success stems from more than technology alone.
 


But is using an application managed service right for your business?

As a Finance or Procurement leader, you have a lot to do. There’s never enough time. It may be hard to find and attract all the right talent. Budgets are tight. You know the opportunities are there to generate savings and value from your software for your organisation, but how to you get things moving? How do you get extra help or expertise when you need it?  How do you free up your best peoples’ time from routine tasks to work toward more strategic objectives?  These questions are as important as any in determining your ultimate level of success.

Before deciding whether using a managed service is right for you, it's important to consider the benefits on offer:
  • You will have access to experienced professionals to work alongside you to manage, monitor and optimise your solution, using industry knowledge and best practice to achieve your set goals.
  • Utilising the skills of a business partner enables a business to “do more with less” – taking tasks from your limited resources so they can concentrate on more value-adding tasks.
  • Working with experts enables your team to strengthen their knowledge and capabilities, and use their software to its fullest – you get access to expert-level knowledge without the need for recruitment or training.
  • Ensures you have the skills and processes in place to make continuous improvements against your business objectives.
  • Continuous monitoring of your systems means problems and areas for improvement are identified early. This proactive approach helps ensure business continuity and results in efficiency gains.
  • Removes the need for costly recruitment or agencies. Using a trusted business partner makes it easier to budget and avoid unexpected expenses.
  • Enables to get maximum ROI from your software investment.
This is just a sample of the benefits that can be realised using a business solution partner, but we know that there are critical moments when having just the right people working alongside you can make all the difference. We also understand that organisations and teams sometimes need a little “people-to-people” help. When they do, they need it to be focused, effective, efficient and cost-effective.
