E5 Systems is not a typical IT services company that offers pieces of Application Development & Maintenance Services (AMS) with Application Management as a mere afterthought. At E5 Systems, we are responsible for providing continuous business value and ROEI to new and legacy business applications via our methodological processes and procedures.

E5 Systems provides Application Development & Maintenance Services based on an Application Management discipline. We implement new systems that are maintained by our E5 Systems onsite and off-shore solutions teams while working with our clients' new and legacy applications to provide upgrades, consolidation and porting. Our broad mix of technical, vertical, and domain skills allows us to quickly and easily designate our E5 Systems teams for varying types of application projects.

Our Advanced Application Management Services include:

Application Management Processes

To ensure the consistent measurement of new systems, Application Management processes should be integrated as early as the strategy phase within the lifecycle of new Application Development & Maintenance Services (AMS). The majority of the time, only 80% of the application work is done before the development team moves on to other projects and hands off the application to ad hoc support and maintenance practices. As a result, defined processes and ROI metrics are never continuously executed and business value is lost.

Within the next five years, approximately 65% of companies will increase the integration of Application Management processes in the beginning of the application lifecycle. If Application Management is integrated from the start of the Application Development & Maintenance Services lifecycle and continuous Application Management processes are applied, IT organizations can truly optimize existing applications, streamline operations, and allocate resources to focus on core IT and business initiatives.

Maintenance

Some applications continue to provide value but are not candidates for enhancement. In many cases, these applications will be retired over time as the business evolves. E5 Systems' Advanced Application Management Methodology highlights processes for maintaining knowledge of applications and transferring that knowledge to offshore teams who will sustain the application and continue to provide maximum value to the organization.

Upgrades

E5 Systems' onsite and off-shore solutions teams have expertise in providing upgrades to packaged software, as well as enhancements to custom applications. Our Chinese employees are certified in a range of software platforms and have comprehensive industry backgrounds to complement strong software development skills.

Consolidation

Our E5 Systems onsite and off-shore solutions teams combine the functionality of numerous, similar applications to one common application typically consisting of multiple divisions. Many companies come to the realization that there are large amounts of redundant systems that are not providing measurable value. We help our clients reduce these excess systems to dramatically saves on cost drains.

Porting

E5 Systems delivers an application transformation to a new hardware or system software platform. Our onsite and off-shore solutions teams help to multiply the effect of your primary-platform development effort, and your investment.

Implementation

We implement both custom and commercial systems that are typically managed and supported by E5 Systems specialists. As a part of our implementation processes, we incorporate the disciplines and procedures of Application Management to ensure measurable value to the business. Every systems integrator has some type of ROI claim, but what they don't have is a responsibility to provide Strategic Portfolio Management that implements an Application Management program to ensure that new development ROI promises are maintained.

Reducing High Application Costs

By providing a combination of process, methodology, technology, and global outsourcing, we deliver up to 30% in application costs reductions in the first year of Advanced Application Management. These savings are included in FTE and SLA-based agreements that not only determine savings but also provide our customers with the flexibility and agility of a working agreement that best fits their maintenance needs.

Increasing Business Value Output

At E5 Systems, we follow the motto of "Do the right work, and do the work right". We determine existing applications that are in critical need of higher level of efficiencies and manage these applications with the discipline that a software company would its packaged products. As a result, we deliver up to a 35% increase in business value output in the first year of Advanced Application Management.
