oriented software maintenance solution enables application software to be
maintained cost-effectively and efficiently in our dynamic environment."
Available immediately, SAM IS provides comprehensive outsourcing services
for even the most complex information system environments. The SAM IS
combination of technology-backed services, organizational dynamics, and
efficient operations processes dramatically improves critically important
software maintenance functions. As with other SAM offerings, SAM IS delivers
five advantages:
-- Guaranteed cost savings: SAM customers save as much as 30 percent
within the first year.
