Accelerated Growth. Better Scalability.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is one of the fastest-growing business models globally as it helps businesses streamline their operations and improve customer experience. As SaaS applications can run on Servers as well as on Serverless or PaaS-based architecture, businesses' dependency on different configurations of every platform reduces considerably. SaaS way of development makes it easier to build innovative and scalable products and ensures that maintenance and updates are easier and faster. In this webinar, we will talk about why you should choose a SaaS model for building custom products - and how it can accelerate your time-to-delivery, empower your team and help your business scale.

Key topics covered:

4. How to choose the best SaaS development partner
5. Synoptek case studies

Custom Application Development – The SaaS Way

Enterprises today can’t look at application maintenance in isolation. Continuous integration and deployment model, which are the need of the hour, can’t be fructified with application maintenance as a separate function. That’s why application maintenance is fading as a function and is now closely coupled with the larger product development group. In addition to the changing face of application maintenance within an enterprise setup, an alarming shortage of skilled resources, who can manage full-cycle requirements for application support and maintenance, and an ever-expanding threat landscape have put organizations in a challenging position. While continuous application management is difficult with limited in-house talent, non-maintenance of applications leads to more significant problems such as apps instability, compliance issues, performance and reliability issues, SEO challenges, and serious security concerns. According to an RSA report, 80% of mobile frauds come from mobile apps. 

As application maintenance becomes increasingly crucial from performance, delivery, and cybersecurity perspectives, you’ll need experts to help you make the most out of your legacy applications. In this webinar, our Application Development experts, Debbie Zelten – Director, App Dev and BI, Sanjay Narang – VP, Consulting Services, Manan Thakkar – Practice Manager, Consulting, and Zachariah Frakes - Senior Manager, App Dev will discuss:

1. Challenges with Managing Mission-Critical Applications and Best Practices for Successful Application Upgrade & Maintenance 

2. Why Organisations Hesitate to Modify Their Applications and Tangible/Intangible Loss of Not Maintaining the Applications 

3. About Synoptek’s Application Service Management Platform and Why Partner with an MSP for Application Support & Maintenance

4. Key Benefits of Application Upgrade & Maintenance

Act Now! Application Maintenance Can’t be Delayed Anymore
