Specialized Training in Supporting Enterprise Applications

Simple Best Practices Can Cut Support Costs by 40%

Some of Canada's best run companies have reduced their spending on supporting enterprise applications by up to 40%, just by applying a set of simple best practices. Specialized training courses from Sierra Systems can help you bring those practices - and savings - in-house.

Do You Need Support & Maintenance Training?

  • Do you have a dedicated application support team separated from development?
  • Is your support team responsible for all code changes or enhancements?
  • Do you use one set of application metrics and reports across your organization?
  • Do you have a dedicated governance committee to set support priorities and budgets?
  • Are all of your application incidents, orders and/or requests recorded in one data repository?

If you answered "No" or "I don't know" to any of these questions, your company could probably benefit by applying the best practices taught in the training courses. Use the tools and downloads below to learn more:

  • Support Self-Assessment Tool - Quick checklist to measure your enterprise support "maturity" and how much you could save by putting the course lessons into action.
  • Cutting the CIO Ball & Chain - White paper illustrating five key tips for IT managers and executives to streamline application support in your company.
  • Benefits - Corporate and professional benefits, from developing a niche skill set in growing demand to reducing enterprise support costs by up to 40%.

All training courses on application support from Sierra Systems qualify for Category 3 PDUs from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and select courses qualify as Management Certificate credits.
