Application Outsourcing
Contracting information technology tasks to outside vendors, rather than performing them in-house, is gaining rapid acceptance as an effective option for cutting overhead, controlling costs and easing the burden on in-house information systems management. Responding to this demand, American Software offers a wide range of resources and options to assist clients who choose to outsource their information systems operation.
American Software Outsourcing Services can provide a powerful link between your company’s business strategy and information technology. This new, flexible delivery vehicle for American Software’s complete, multi-platform business solutions can give you the control of rapidly changing technologies that may not be available any other way. You can have access to current technology without capital investment; technology obsolescence and uncertainty can be avoided.

Applications Support
Applications Maintenance – American Software is well positioned to support your customized applications. Our expertise with the full suite of American Software ERP applications and the extensive experience gained developing modifications and interfaces for our customers give us the background required to assess and manage customized solutions. This includes providing resources to resolve functional and technical issues, to create and test system fixes, and to manage changes made to the production environment. We work directly with client resources to verify and resolve issues in a timely manner.
Communication of Issues – We establish a central communication point for reporting issues. Our team helps you evaluate the appropriate communication and issues management process for your business. We evaluate the number of system users, locations, applications, hours of system operation, and your current issues reporting processes.
The level of support needed may be as simple as providing a key contact who works directly with your internal resources. The assessment may determine the need for a dedicated Help Desk staff responsible for the management and resolution of issues, system monitoring, and other production support activities. Current Help Desk reporting processes, escalation and notification processes, and Help Desk procedures are determined during the assessment of requirements.
Production System Monitoring – American Software technical resources are experienced in the management of production system environments. We work with our customers, third party application vendors, and our technology partners to ensure that the production system effectively supports your business requirements.
Application Enhancement – American Software provides senior application experts to support system enhancement projects. Our experienced managers, project managers, business consultants, and technical resources can support enhancement development from the initial discussion of business requirements to the promotion of changes to the production system. We can either supplement internal staff or manage the total enhancement process as an ongoing part of your organization.
American Software implements enhancements using a time-tested, proven methodology. We evaluate how this methodology will be adapted for use in your environment.
