Application Maintenance Services

• Maintain and repair existing Application System errors, defects, bugs, and perform routine operations (e.g., break/fix services, patch releases to address multiple known errors, defects, or bugs).
• Develop and deploy enhancements in accordance with approved services.
• Document and maintain methodologies, policies, processes, OLAs, and operational interaction models and RACIs for parties involved in ADM activities.

Operational Excellence and Compliance

• Achieve service levels and receive services in accordance with mandated PSPS wildfire guidelines and CPUC guidelines.
• Support the underlying compute agents, hosting infrastructure, and operational services required for Palantir Foundry to run reliably.
• Deliver agile Application maintenance services, ensuring consistency and integration between Agile/DevOps service delivery methods across plan, deliver, and run phases.
• Optimize the operation and functionality of Application Systems.
• Drive continual Application System portfolio optimization and rationalization.
• Use Foundry's Resource Management application to analyze compute consumption, pipeline execution cost, storage utilization, and workload efficiency.
