Digital Sustainment
In the next 10 years, firms will be challenged to find the right talent as boomers retire and the next generation does not have the numbers to fill vacancies
Keeping the lights on – and making them brighter
The hard reality is, legacy systems do need to be maintained as you bring new technology and processes online and newer talent will not have those skill sets. At the same time, the idea of sustainment needs to be reimagined. Going forward platforms will be subject to constant innovation. New innovations will be able to be plugged into the ecosystem quickly and connected to other elements of the ecosystem.
Having a nimble organization that can not only take care of legacy systems as you extend their lives but can also take on the challenge of adapting newer platforms will be imperative.

Corrective Maintenance
Provide corrections to the current operational functionality of production systems so that the systems continue to operate per the current specifications
Preventive Maintenance
Correct inherent defects that are plaguing an application to eliminate future problems instead of continuing to work around the issue.
Perfective Maintenance
Improve the quality of the application through modifications, and work with business and other development teams to improve functionality
