Let us assess your digital assets
Managed Services Assessment
Struggling to drive value from your digital applications? Spending too much on app management?
For many organizations, application maintenance comes as a tax on the business, an investment that delivers no value but allows it to keep operating. To keep up with the needs of a volatile market and a connected, software-defined future, the way businesses approach software maintenance needs to change.
Your digital assets have the potential to drive growth and competitive advantage if managed in a more proactive way. To get you started, Thoughtworks has developed a managed services assessment to help our clients optimize for specific cost savings and achieve greater ROI from their digital applications.
After assessment, our client - a leading Accounting and Business Management software firm - identified significant opportunities to save 11% in annual expenses. In the long run, our DAMO services are designed to provide and amplify these cost savings annually through operational efficiency and evolution.
At the end of the assessment you will have:
Estimates on potential cost savings and timelines
Recommendations on which systems and processes to automate, and how to get started
An understanding of your applications' technical debt landscape and priority areas to tackle
An assessment of skills needed and guidance on how to release your key talent to focus on value-adding activities
Assessment Approach
Our general approach comprises two phases designed to rapidly identify optimization opportunities in your application landscape. However, each assessment will be tailored to your organization's specific challenges and business goals.
Phase 1: Assess
Evaluate system life cycles
Assess vulnerabilities
Analyze incident data
Examine additional factors including user count and revenue
Phase 2: Analyze
Deep dive of the code quality
Evaluate complexity
Define skill needs
Deliver analysis results and system ratings
When assessing a client's systems, we found that smart sequencing of applications and components can save 10% over 12 months and 20-40% over 2-3 years, while also improving engineering quality and enabling more valuable work for maintenance teams.
