Optimizing growth and maximizing return-on-investment
Every year growth and increasing revenues rank amongst the top priorities of CEOs in countless surveys. With increased digital spending within a company, it is no wonder that maximizing revenues from existing investments is one of the preferred business strategies that organizations rely on.
A continuously changing technology landscape makes the role of efficient application management extremely crucial. Managing entire application portfolios across their lifecycle boosts efficiencies and increases return on investment (ROI).
Benefits of partnering with an Application Management Services (AMS) provider
Why would anyone choose an AMS partner for their critical business application instead of doing it in-house? The answer is simple: it’s a smart business decision. Since every company is a technology company now, there is an ever-increasing reliance on business-critical applications.
Instead of hiring experts for every aspect of application management, organizations have another option – to partner with an AMS expert. The ability to efficiently remediate hidden inefficiencies, improve performance, prevent and solve incidents, and scale without hiring new resources or using precious in-house resources adds up to higher value for investments.

How Semler IT benefitted from Columbus Application Management Services
“Semler would like to digitize more of their work processes, which is a big mouthful to do yourself. Therefore, it makes good sense for Semler to outsource the necessary competencies in one place - namely, at Columbus. Our operating agreement ensures Semler that there is a pragmatic - and an agile - approach to tasks and possible problems.”
- Steen Elsborg Pedersen, Semler IT
