Use Cases

Cloud Application Manager's Managed Services Anywhere eases migration
Streamlining Cloud Migration

Migration is one of the single most problematic challenges IT departments face. Applications outgrow the original infrastructure they were deployed on. Technologies change and need to be updated or replaced. Cost considerations may also play a role in driving the decision to migrate from one type of infrastructure to another. Minimize the pain with Managed Services Anywhere.

Cloud Application Manager can be an extension of your IT Staff
Minimize IT Staff Distractions

Cloud Application Manager's Managed Services Anywhere delivers certified engineers and knowledgeable support staff at-the-ready to monitor performance, and ensure security across your infrastructure, wherever it resides. This frees up your IT staff to focus on delivering business value, without the unnecessary distraction of administrative busy work.


“We reduce errors because [Cloud Application Manager] helps us maintain dependencies consistently with a single source of management. From one place... we provision the frontend and backend services."

— Henri Cook, Engineering Manager at Rightster

Technical Account Manager


Lumen offers a designated Technical Account Manager to meet your diverse needs. Technical Account Managers are your lifecycle business partner and go-to contact for general support, and all Cloud Application Manager customers are provided a Primary TAM who is assigned to their account. A pool of TAMs is available to assist if the primary is not available.


The Technical Account Manager will provide or support:

  • Escalation, best practice and recommendations for additional hands-on services
  • Advisory-only level of guidance with best effort
  • Optimization reporting and recommendations via Add-On AMS packages
  • AWS associate, professional certifications and accreditations
  • Azure Cloud Platform certifications
  • VMware certifications
  • Note: TAM is named but not dedicated or guaranteed, and may be served from the next available resource. The TAM does not support any monitoring, alerts, remediation and creation/changes of policies.

“The collaborative relationship we developed helped take our entire solution to a new level. Our TAM was able to make suggestions that solved challenges before they became problems.”
