TL;DR; Explains the responsibilities of managing production applications, including vendor relations, issue resolution, audits, and system access, typically handled by a project manager.
In my company it is the job of someone in business technology to manage production applications.

We partner with businesses across diverse industries, including finance, insurance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technology, engineering, transportation, hospitality, entertainment, legal, government, and military sectors.
