Application
Maintenance and Enhancement. |
Market leading organizations have been investing on IT
applications over multiple years to gain and retain the
cutting edge advantage. While these applications are providing
the necessary return on investments, it has become very
critical to maintain and enhance these applications with
the dynamics of business environment. These organizations
are looking for trusted IT partners to take up this ownership
of getting the best advantage out of their investment on
these applications.
Landmark, with its basic objective of partnering with their
customers, takes responsibility of owning these third party
applications and provides maintenance and enhancement services.
This methodology has been mapped to our ISO certification
and is supported with leading technology tools like Rational
product suite, Microsoft Project manager, web-based problem
reporting and tracking tool.
In addition to provide basic support for maintenance of
the application, Landmark as an IT partner works very closely
with customer to overcome some of the problems and limitations
in using these applications such as:
|
