The Importance of Application Management


Professional application management enhances the ability to Control costs. Application management provides Insight into the services supplied, and promotes Transferability.

Application management reflects the fact that applications lead a long life, that today's applications could still affect a company's competitive position in five years' time. Application management is future-focused. And while all these changes and innovations are being put in place, day-to-day reliability must remain a matter of course.

Not only the organization itself will have a role to play here. Process chain automation also makes organizations dependent on others. The uniformity of application management among organizations is therefore an important success factor when it comes to mutually coordinating applications and application service providers.

Xebia focuses on the following factors as part of the software maintenance:

 

Complete focus on improving software quality


Software maintenance is not only about fixing and adding new features to software but also about improving its quality manifold. It's done by continuously improving the test coverage in automated fashion using unit, integration and acceptance tests so that with each fix, you have lesser probability of future bugs and also even lesser regression problems.

 

One Team Multiple Project Concept


Software maintenance is unpredictable. Sometimes, software may contain a lot of bugs and sometimes it may be a smooth sailing.

Instead of having a single dedicated team for each single application, Xebia works with “One Team Multiple Projects” concept wherein one single team handles maintenance of multiple applications focusing on following values:

  • Smaller teams provide you cost-effectiveness and also can deal with maintenance spikes.
  • No isolated information islands as more people have knowledge exchange on the same application. Swiching over people is never a problem in this model.

 

Preparing for software maintenance:


Xebia India provides expertise in moving any in-development project towards maintenance phase. Development team is reduced in phases. Maintenance team is also increased side by side so that team could work on preparing required documentation and focus on knowledge exchange for upcoming mainteance phase.

 

Focus on knowledge exchange


Xebia has a well-defined process to induct new team-members in the maintenance team and also document the knowledge exchange through written and multimedia (recorded video sessions) formats.
