SunGard’s managed application services offer customers a comprehensive set of IT services for their critical SAP applications, including infrastructure design, deployment and migration, management, administration, monitoring, reporting and ongoing support.
“By helping customers run applications at a higher level of productivity and availability, SunGard helps them maximize application investments and more effectively manage internal resources and priorities,” says Dave Colesante, senior vice president and general manager of managed services at SunGard Availability Services. “This partnership is a natural extension of SunGard’s commitment to provide customers highly available and productive SAP solution-based environments.”
According to the press release, SunGard Availability Services provides disaster recovery services, managed IT services, information availability consulting services and business continuity management software to more than 10,000 customers in North America and Europe.
