Genuine IT Production Management Efficiency model helps the global enterprises enhance the efficiency of their production support operations.

The Challenge

The Organizations deploy multiple applications to support their globally spread business and use different practices and procedures to maintain and manage these applications. The difference in processes, methodologies, and tools lead to inefficiencies in production management. Some of the major challenges are:

• Higher cost involved in managing applications.
• Operational inefficiency in the production environment.
• Lack of governance structure in production and support.
• Inconsistent and incomplete service performance measurement.
• Difficulty in managing tacit assets.

Lacking the necessary expertise and resource bandwidth in-house the clients partner with Genuine IT to enhance their operational efficiency and cost competitiveness.

The Solution

The engagement starts with the assessment phase followed by the development and deployment phases. Genuine IT analyses data from applications, current production issues, operating model, processes & practices, tools, and role definitions. Strong focus on improved application stability, reduce TCO, and improved efficiencies, Genuine IT designs a Production Management and Efficiency (PME) model by leveraging other industry best practices and its proven methodology. The design principles engaged to architect this model are:

• To provide clear expectations to each of the stake holders within the framework through well defined roles and responsibilities.
• To define standard processes that can be easily implemented, managed and continually improved.
• To provide for improvement sustenance in a changing environment.
• To provide built-in dimensions to achieve breakthrough excellence with a focus on improving the overall operational efficiency in providing application support.
