Application outsourcing

What is application outsourcing?
Application outsourcing in IT is a more general term for outsourcing processes with business applications. This can include many phases of the application lifecycle, as well as consulting and related services.

Application outsourcing services can include services related to the design, testing, release, or production of applications. An example of this type of service is the 'Application Management Outsourcing' service, which includes the ongoing management of applications. With application outsourcing services, companies rely on the general outsourcing model, where application work is delegated to a third party to avoid the burden of in-house work. Some business people also refer to the outsourcing of business processes, such as accounting, as 'application outsourcing', either because different software applications are used or because the term has become business jargon.

Jüngste Fortschritte wie Cloud computing haben das Outsourcing von Anwendungen möglich gemacht, was vielen Unternehmen die Möglichkeit gibt, die Arbeit beim Erstellen und Arbeiten mit Anwendungen an eine Reihe von Drittanbietern und Dienstanbietern zu delegieren. Anbieter können sich eine ‚Economy of Scale‘ zunutze machen, um sich auf bestimmte Anwendungsaufgaben zu spezialisieren, die für Unternehmen kostenintensiv und belastend sind, um sie intern zu beziehen. Moderne Internet-Technologien wie Software as a Service (SaaS) ermöglichen mehr Web-gelieferte Anwendungen und andere Arten von Dienstleistungen von Drittanbietern.
