Application Support und Lifecycle Management

24/7 support, maintenance, fault and issue management

Going live is just the beginning. And once IT systems are up and running, every minute counts. It is only during day-to-day operations that it becomes clear how quickly faults are rectified, changes implemented and maintenance work carried out reliably. 

ConSol takes care of the operational support for your applications – from 24/7 on-call support and incident and problem management to scheduled maintenance and lifecycle management services. ISO-certified. No red tape. No waiting times. And with in-depth expertise and a genuinely hands-on approach.

We keep your systems up and running at all times – round the clock

DevOps means rapid releases and continuous development. At the same time, business-critical applications must operate reliably and any disruptions must be manageable at all times – during the day, at night, at weekends or on public holidays. This is exactly where we can help. 

24/7 support & on-call service

We can provide operational support outside your business hours or on a full 24/7 basis. Remotely or on-site. Tickets can be submitted by telephone, email or via your ticketing system. Whichever you prefer.

Incident Management

Incidents are prioritised, analysed and monitored until they are resolved. Procedures documented in runbooks and clear escalation paths ensure rapid acceptance and short response times.

Problem Management

We don’t just fix faults. We also identify the root causes of recurring faults and work with your teams to develop sustainable solutions.

Maintenance & Lifecycle Management

We coordinate updates, releases and maintenance windows, as well as all the manufacturers, providers and teams involved. This ensures your applications remain secure, stable and up to date.

 

Our German- and English-speaking experts provide operational support and on-call services for your applications. Defined processes, documented procedures and bespoke SLAs ensure that incidents are dealt with swiftly, root causes are resolved permanently and maintenance work is carried out in a planned manner.

What you need to know about IT support

What should you look out for when choosing an IT support provider?

Look for genuine technical expertise, not just response times. It is important to have highly qualified engineers, transparent processes, ISO certifications and the option to receive support both remotely and on-site.

What is incident management?

Incident management involves the rapid receipt, analysis, handling and resolution of critical disruptions to day-to-day IT operations. The aim is to minimise the impact on users and business processes as much as possible and to restore normal operations quickly. Clear escalation procedures, defined SLAs and documented procedures ensure that incidents are handled efficiently and downtime is minimised.

What is the difference between incident management and problem management?

Incident management focuses on the rapid resolution of acute incidents in order to restore normal operations as quickly as possible – it is therefore purely reactive. Problem management is proactive and goes one step further: following an analysis of the causes of recurring or particularly critical incidents, the aim is to develop sustainable solutions, permanently eliminate vulnerabilities and prevent future incidents. Together, these two factors contribute to stable and reliable IT operations.

What does application lifecycle management involve in IT operations?

Application Lifecycle Management refers to the ongoing management of an application throughout its entire lifecycle and encompasses all measures designed to ensure its secure and stable operation in the long term. This includes the planning and implementation of updates, patches, releases and maintenance windows, as well as the coordination of all relevant manufacturers, providers and internal teams. The aim is to ensure that applications remain up to date, secure and high-performing at all times, to minimise operational risks, and to implement changes into live operations in a controlled manner.

What role do ISO certifications play in application support and lifecycle management?

Certifications such as ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO/IEC 20000 (service management) or ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) demonstrate that the provider operates in accordance with recognised standards – an important factor for quality, security and compliance.

When is it worth investing in specialist IT support, for example for OpenShift or Kubernetes?

Modern container platforms require in-depth technical knowledge. Specialist support from experienced engineers can be crucial, particularly in the event of faults, complex configuration or scaling.
