DAMO Growth Leader
At Thoughtworks, our Digital Application Management and Operations (DAMO) service line is a rapidly expanding area of expertise, revolutionizing the conventional notion of application management beyond just keeping the lights on. In many organizations, this limited perspective impedes the ability of software to adapt to emerging business challenges. To realize a sustainable return on investment from digital assets, a paradigm shift in how software maintenance is approached is essential.
At Thoughtworks, we employ groundbreaking modern engineering practices that have been instrumental in reshaping software development, applying them now to application management services. Our approach goes beyond mere maintenance, focusing on the progressive evolution of applications to maximize the business value of digital assets for our clients.
