Enterprise applications are the lifeblood of your business. Effective management of your applications can spell the difference between driving faster growth and greater revenues and escalating maintenance costs and productivity-sapping downtime.

Balancing application maintenance costs against other business priorities doesn’t have to be a burden. By contracting application management to Axxend, you enable your key IT resources to focus on core competencies and strategic business initiatives while Axxend focuses on managing your application life cycle.

Within many companies, diverse application portfolios create a complex landscape of legacy applications and technologies that generate ever-increasing management headaches and above-average application maintenance costs.

Axxend Application Renewal solutions offer a new approach to maximizing IT investments, helping you optimize the value of existing enterprise applications while realizing significant maintenance-related savings and increasing your business agility. Our experts will assess your application portfolio and demonstrate the value of transitioning your development environment to Microsoft’s flexible, integrated .NET platform. Working with your IT team, we’ll use our proven tools and methodologies and dedicated centers of excellence to help you migrate, rewrite, or restructure as needed to achieve a scalable, reliable foundation for your enterprise applications, and we’ll address the application renewal challenges associated with legacy software such as Visual Basic®, Lotus® Notes®, Commerce Server, and SharePoint® 2003.

Along with a move to the .NET platform, your organization may also benefit from adoption of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach, which can improve functionality of existing software applications and increase flexibility. Post-renewal, Axxend Application Management solutions can ensure your enterprise applications continue to meet your evolving business needs.
