How We Help
AI development platforms such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Bolt.new, and Replit now enable rapid software creation across your organization. While this capability is significant, it introduces challenges that traditional IT teams are not equipped to manage. Each AI-generated application still requires code review, security hardening, integration testing, compliance checks, and ongoing maintenance. When scaled across many new builds, this can quickly lead to operational overload.
Managed Services for AI is Appnovation’s solution. We deliver a human operational layer between AI-generated builds and reliable production deployment. Our team reviews AI-generated code for quality and security, monitors for unauthorized shadow AI tools, enforces governance policies specific to your industry, and manages the entire application lifecycle from deployment to retirement.
The service includes three packages that can be used independently or together. Assessment provides comprehensive visibility into your AI and SaaS portfolio. Guardrails delivers ongoing governance, shadow AI monitoring, and compliance operations. Lifecycle oversees daily operations of your AI-built software, including code quality, integration health, incident response, and 24/7 support.
Since 2007, Appnovation has provided managed services to over 60 enterprise clients. This offering builds on that experience, combining human expertise with AI-powered operations to reduce ticket backlogs by up to 75% and resolve incidents up to 30% faster.
Inspiring possibility and applying innovation at some of the most recognizable brands on the planet.

Assessment & Remediation: See Everything. Fix What Matters.
Our fixed-fee portfolio audit identifies shadow AI exposure, license waste, failed AI pilots, and governance gaps. We then provide a prioritized roadmap, outlining what to keep, consolidate, replace, or retire. The audit is completed within 4 to 8 weeks.
Many enterprises lack visibility into the AI tools their teams use. Business units adopt platforms independently, analysts initiate SaaS subscriptions, and developers test AI coding tools that remain active. This leads to an ungoverned portfolio of AI tools, applications, and redundant software, increasing risk and unnecessary costs.
Appnovation's Assessment & Remediation provides a comprehensive starting point. We inventory all AI tools, AI-generated applications, and SaaS subscriptions across your organization. Our process identifies shadow AI, analyzes license waste and redundancy, audits stalled or failed AI projects, and maps governance gaps with a risk classification matrix.
We deliver a rationalization roadmap that categorizes each tool as keep, consolidate, replace, or retire, prioritized by business impact, risk, and cost savings. Most clients identify 20–40% waste and uncover numerous ungoverned AI tools.
This engagement is typically completed within 4 to 8 weeks and transitions seamlessly into ongoing Guardrails and Lifecycle services.
Guardrails: We Set Them Up. We Keep You On Track.
We provide continuous shadow AI discovery, governance policy enforcement, and compliance operations as a managed service. Our team identifies unknown AI tools, classifies them, establishes policies, and ensures your organization remains compliant as threats and regulations change.
Shadow AI is a rapidly growing security risk in enterprise IT. Employees use AI tools through personal accounts, input proprietary data into unregulated platforms, and develop applications without security review. For organizations in highly regulated industries, this leads to increasing compliance risks the longer it remains unaddressed.
Appnovation's Guardrails service offers continuous shadow AI monitoring, including monthly scans and classification of new tools within 48 hours. We create and enforce governance frameworks tailored to your industry and risk profile, such as acceptable use policies, approval workflows, and data handling controls to prevent sensitive information from reaching unregulated tools.
We manage ongoing compliance operations aligned with your organization's regulatory requirements. Our services include quarterly policy reviews, incident response within four hours for critical issues, pre-audit preparation, and monthly governance dashboards that provide leadership with clear insight into your shadow AI status.
This isn't a one-time audit. It is an ongoing managed service that evolves with your AI environment, regulatory requirements, and emerging threats.
Lifecycle: You Build It. We Run It.
We provide ongoing operational management for AI-built software. Our services include reviewing and strengthening AI-generated code, managing application lifecycles from deployment to retirement, monitoring integration health, and offering 24/7 incident response. This allows your teams to contin
AI coding tools accelerate development, but speed does not guarantee production readiness. AI-generated code often introduces resource leaks, race conditions, insufficient error handling, and architectural patterns that do not scale. These issues must be identified before they cause outages, and the lifecycle of each production application must be actively managed.
Appnovation's Lifecycle service applies the same rigor to AI-built applications as to mission-critical enterprise software. We offer AI code quality reviews, production readiness hardening, continuous performance monitoring and testing, comprehensive application lifecycle management from deployment to retirement, integration health monitoring across APIs and middleware, portfolio health dashboards with dependency and version tracking, and planned migrations when tools require replacement.
Our operational SLOs include one-hour P1 response times and 24-hour resolution targets, supported by our global follow-the-sun model with onshore and nearshore teams in the Americas, Europe, and APAC.
We act as an extension of your team, applying the same partnership approach we have provided to over 60 managed services clients since 2007, now tailored for AI-built portfolios.
