Technology, without any capital expense: A Managed and Hosted solution is an application service that is outsourced to a service provider with the expertise to monitor, maintain, enhance and trouble-shoot the applications a business relies on. The client theoretically is “renting” the use of the application from the service provider. All hosted services need not be Managed Application Services, if the provider is only responsible for the routine maintenance of the equipment.
|
|
Service providers who both Manage and Host the application are vital for any IT initiative. Managed Application Services (MAS) allow organizations to meet their business objectives and maximize their success by allowing them to concentrate on the finished output of a process instead of the management and control of the process itself. |

|
| |
|
Reduction or Control of Operating Expenses |
|
|
Increased Availability of Capital Funds |
|
|

|

Should you Build or Buy or Rent an application? |
|
Building an Application |
|
Building an Application through the complete control over application design and application functionality with pride of accomplishment are advantages associated with building an applications, yet there are certain disadvantages in building an application. The organization may lack IT or business analysis expertise internally. There is too much time, effort and cost involved in building an application. Getting proper personnel involved requires pulling resources away from other projects. Also time to design, develop, test and implement takes longer than using a solution already on the market. |
|
Buying a Solution |
|
The main advantage of buying a solution is that the application has already been built and less implementation time than building is required. But on the other hand there is longer implementation time than hosted solution. Buying is capital intensive -- requires same hardware/software environment as the build solution. There are few customization options and if the solution is client/server based, access to the application is restrictive. |
|
Renting an Application Service |
|
There are too many advantages in renting an application service. They include
|
|
| |
|
Less implementation time than building or buying |
|
|
No capital expenditures |
|
|
No IT staffing requirements |
|
|
Shared risk |
|
|
Accessible from anywhere at anytime |
|
|
Ability to concentrate on your core business and not on IT processes |
|
|
Usually more customizable than an off-the-shelf solution |
|
|
|

The MAS is normally provided to the customers as a comprehensive end-to-end solution on specific IT deliveries. World over, MAS has gained popularity for ease of handling IT projects. |
