Delivering 24x7 Application Support and Operational Efficiency for a Global Financial Services Firm

Introduction
A leading global financial services company partnered with NuWare to ensure seamless operations across its critical business applications that supported day-to-day financial transactions, customer management, and regulatory reporting.

The client operated a complex, multi-vendor ecosystem with several mission-critical applications forming the backbone of its business operations. Any downtime, lag, or failure in these systems directly impacted revenue flow, customer satisfaction, and compliance.

To maintain consistent application performance, uptime, and user satisfaction, NuWare implemented a 24x7 application support and maintenance model aligned with ITIL-based processes, ensuring predictable performance, faster resolution times, and continuous improvement through automation and proactive monitoring.
The Challenge
Operating in a global market, the client relied on a heterogeneous set of systems and vendor-supplied applications, each critical for daily operations. Ensuring high availability, performance, and stability across this diverse landscape posed several challenges:
  • 1. System Heterogeneity – Managing multiple applications built on different platforms and technologies required specialized support capabilities.
  • 2. Operational Dependencies – The client’s core business operations were heavily reliant on these systems, demanding near-zero downtime.
  • 3. Performance Bottlenecks – System load fluctuations and latency issues occasionally affected application response times.
  • 4. Reactive Support Model – The client’s existing approach was reactive, with limited automation or root cause analysis to prevent recurring issues.
  • 5. Limited Visibility – The management lacked consolidated reporting on incident trends, performance metrics, and SLA compliance.

To address these challenges, the client needed a proactive, round-the-clock support model that combined automation, visibility, and continuous optimization.
NuWare’s Approach
