Given the rapid pace of technology, business applications have to grow and evolve on a continuous basis. By combining technical knowledge and domain expertise to manage business applications, AMS is now taking a holistic approach to manage applications across their lifecycle. The standard approaches to application management no longer suffice, as the message, "to be more agile and deliver solutions faster with higher quality outcomes at a lower price," is now stronger than ever. As organizations move toward highly distributed, multi-tier, multi-element architectures and application development frameworks such as .NET or Java, AMS focuses on ease of implementation and use, and on minimal system overhead.From the recent survey, analysts forecast that the Global AMS market will grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent from the present scenario to 2018. AMS from vendors like Oracle, IBM, and SAP brings together an industrialized, globally integrated approach with distinctive analytics capability and leading automation to help companies strategically manage their application portfolios in support of business goals.
