Summary: Management of enterprise application systems is here to stay. IT teams have to quickly embrace newer techniques that will enable such systems to be managed effectively.

The framework of knowledge areas presented in this document is a starting point for IT teams to organize these libraries. IT teams should extend this framework to include areas such as security, disaster prevention and recovery, capacity planning, and service-specific reporting. Creating a body of knowledge that can be used for both manual and automated application system management and providing the tools to allow IT teams to contribute and collaboratively enhance this body of knowledge are the keys to taming the complexity of enterprise application system management.
