Application Support and Outsourced Services

Our Application Support and Outsource services are focused on making each and every moment count for our customers. Whether you need a project taken off your hands or are looking for additional manpower in-house, our Application Support and Outsource services can help your organisation innovate and develop at pace.

How we deliver our Application Support and Outsource services

At Optimation, we aren't fixated on one development method, technology, platform or piece of equipment. Both our Support and Outsource teams are well-versed in finding the best-suited support and development methods for our customers.

Our Support practice is ITIL-aligned to ensure compliance, but we know a rigid one-size-fits-all approach won’t suit everyone. Instead, we work with customers to create an application support model tuned to their business needs and priorities. Because we understand that in critical business situations every moment counts our Support team offers 24/7 local and offshore support. That way, New Zealand organisations can enjoy the benefits of global scale and 24/7 coverage as well as local governance, clear accountabilities and face-to-face relationships.

The Outsource team is experienced in adaptive and rapid application development (RAD). Using the OutSystems platform for low-code development and rapid prototyping of mobile and web apps, our team can visually develop your entire application, integrate it with existing systems, and add your own custom code as needed. This approach drives rapid, low-risk digital transformation and application modernisation. We also have strong capabilities in agile and DevOps methodologies that support iterative development and continuous deployment, and if traditional waterfall methodology makes sense for your project, that’s in our kit bag too.
