What does the Application Support Second Edition include?

The Application Support Second Edition is a downloadable digital playbook containing over 60 files in PDF and XLSX format. It includes a master operations playbook, a 90-day adoption roadmap, self-assessment worksheets, implementation templates, KPI dashboards, governance checklists and a suite of specialised reference cards, all delivered by email within 24 business hours.
