IT / Application Management

Application management, or application lifecycle management, is the ongoing process of ensuring software meets the requirements of the end-user and the enterprise through maintenance, development and governance. This process is partly about business management and partly about software engineering and involves the two parties working together to ensure optimal efficiency and compliance as needs and rules change. This is particularly important in SaaS where applications have been tailored or specifically built to an enterprise’s requirements.
