Application Management is all about measuring the application performance and end-user experience of business critical applications. It refers to a set of techniques or practices that focus on managing the key aspects of applications.

Application Management includes a complete design – build – operate program which rationalize and optimize application portfolio and develop and integrate applications. It takes significant efforts to implement Application Management methodology as it covers applications from their inception stage to development, implementation, migration, integration, monitoring, upgrades and finally replacement with the new ones.

Why Application Management?
In the past one decade or so, Application Management has gained more attention from all businesses. There is an old saying in business world – ‘Inspect what you expect.’ In a business, applications are what you inspect and the optimum output from those applications is what you expect. Application Management helps IT companies to inspect their applications minutely and get the expected uptime consistently to focus on what they do best. Application Management counters the increasing costs associated with each application and react immediately to performance issues in real time before end users are affected. Application Management optimizes how your applications run and where they run, thus helping you save significantly in current challenging economic times.

Application Management is a top-down, end-to-end, lifecycle support solution with the tools for constant monitoring, and detecting problems in heterogeneous environments. Applications go through a life cycle of development and their key purpose is to remain available to the business 100% of the time.

Application Management helps your business applications in following ways:

• Complete application maintenance and support
• Evaluation of the impact of application changes
• Expert management of enterprise applications
• Alignment of application portfolio with business goals
• Lowered total cost of ownership and increased revenue
• Secure and reliable applications
• Around-the-clock applications monitoring and support
• Less application complexity to deal with
• Accelerated solution delivery
• Reduced business applications downtime

• Transition from reactive to proactive availability management

Application Management and IT Infrastructure Hosting can help SMBs in meeting their business applications and technology investments. Application Management solutions enable them to answer comprehensively the key questions regarding application modernization.

Empowered by applications, IT world is advancing through a technology revolution. And Application Management has shifted the focus from one aspect of applications to the entire application lifecycle that impact the nature of today's business. Let me conclude stating that for forward-looking IT organizations, implementing Application Management is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when!’
