Application Management Outsourcing (AMO) refers to outsourcing maintenance, management, and support services for an application to ensure it operates to the highest possible standards. Third-party companies may be hired to take over software updates, customer support, design and development of new app functionalities, cybersecurity maintenance, app scaling, and other tasks.

App-owning companies use AMO to compensate for a lack of staff or reallocate in-house employees to new and growing projects.
