Sierra Systems Group Inc., a leading information technology and consulting services company, today introduced its new "Get SMART Fast" approach to Application Outsourcing designed to help organizations quickly identify significant savings opportunities within their IT operation.

The "Get SMART Fast" approach utilizes Sierra's exclusive SMART methodology, designed to help organizations target and track Application Management Services (AMS) benefits and manage the transformation process to completion. Sierra's flexible delivery models - including Onsite Managed Services (OMS), Remote Managed Services (RMS), and Project Delivery - provide organizations with deployment options that best map to their unique business and technical requirements.

"Our research shows that 88 percent of public companies and 68 percent of commercial companies have not used off shore resources for IT-related purposes," said Nigel Wallis, Research Director, IDC. "Customers are looking for creative approaches to application outsourcing that involve more than pursuing an off-shoring strategy alone."

Sierra's approach enables companies to do more with either the same amount of resources or, if needed, by reducing the resources required to support a given portfolio of applications while maintaining equal or greater IT support service levels.

"With today's unstable economic climate IT departments are forced to maintain or increase the level of service provided by IT operations, while also finding ways to cut costs--all without compromising quality, functionality and reliability," said John Krpan, GM and EVP, Application Management Services, Sierra Systems. "Our 'Get SMART Fast' approach is unique in that companies are realizing benefits in six months or less as compared to other strategies that can take as long as two years before benefits are realized."
