Turn an under-performing app into a competitive advantage
Every organisation has a number of mission-critical apps they rely on, using a variety of technologies and platforms. In many cases, these have been built in legacy systems, making it difficult for the business to integrate their old apps into their digital transformation efforts.
In an age where the cloud often dominates tech discussions and takes the limelight in strategy meetings, you could be forgiven for thinking that your on-premise apps are old news. Even if you’ve moved some of your business apps to the cloud, you’re probably finding that managing these applications effectively is a daunting task, requiring technical expertise and dedicated resources.
If you:
want to make your existing apps more effective
need 24×7 support
want to dedicate your resources to core business functions
Or if you want to:
reduce cost
gain access to additional support
improve efficiency
build a foundation for agile opportunity engagement
You need iOCO’s Always-On application support solution.

Applications are the foundation on which innovation is built. When performing optimally, apps help streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver exceptional customer experiences while also providing a platform to create, test, and deploy new ideas and solutions.
Unfortunately, 53% of enterprise apps aren’t managed, hampering organisations in terms of efficiency, productivity, and security. This is why we have created Always On, allowing you to streamline your application management processes, reduce risks, and unlock the full potential of your software applications, enabling your organisation to thrive in the digital age.
