Oracle Application Managed Services

Although the term “managed services” is frequently used in the United States to describe partnering with consultants to efficiently and cost effectively manage a company’s IT functions, different terms can be used in various parts of the world. So, global enterprises may need to use different terms for clear company-wide communication.

Other terms used may include:

• outsourced IT provider
• IT service management
• IT services support
• IT management consulting services
• application managed services
• application managed support
• technology service support
• fully managed IT services

Overall, managed service providers help companies to maximize their investments in technology, freeing up executives and teams to focus on business growth.
