What is AMS?

Posted on July 23, 2010 in ColdFusion

Application maintnenace can easily consume over 50% of the time and cost during an application's lifespan. As developers, we like brand new development because it is fun and exciting. We get to start with a clean slate and design a masterpiece. Maintenance work is ... well ... maintenance work. You have to go dig through somebody else's code (or worse, your own) and try to work in changes and bend code to do things it was not originally intended to do.

This is where AMS comes in. AMS is ColdFusion Application Maintenance Services by Admentus. Through the AMS program, we put a team together for each project that consisits of a dedicated project manager, designers, developers, quality assurance technicians and anything else the project might require. Best practices are utilized such as continious integiration, revision control, seperate test environments, etc..., all to ensure that updates to an existing application maintain the quality and integirty of the original application and can be deployed in a safe, non-disruptive manner for the end users.

AMS is different than traditional consulting in that it is offered with either proactive or reactive support. Proactive support is ideal for application monitoring, application growth and support, as well as mentoring services. Proactive support provides lower rates than traditional support services and prepaid hours can roll forward or into custom development services. Reactive support is ideal for critical support issues, application growth, and larger scale mentoring efforts.

Are you an inidividual developer, or a team leader who needs to offload some maitenence work to allow your focus to be put onto new projects and keep moving forward? If so, AMS is the solution. We offer the highest quality support for your applications and your clients. In addition, we offer a referral commission for all new clients. Your client gets the quality support they need, you get the opportunity to move on to new projects, and you get paid for it. It is a win-win.
