Software Maintenance and Support

SOFTWAREKEPT HEALTHYAFTER LAUNCH

We look after software that is already in production, handling monitoring, fixes, security updates and steady improvements, including applications that another team originally built for you.

01Our Approach

Good maintenance is mostly invisible, measured by the incidents that never happen and the updates that pass without anyone noticing.

02Overview

Your software kept healthy after launch

  • 01Monitoring and alerts
  • 02Security updates
  • 03Planned improvements

Maintenance and support keeps a live application secure, available and current. We monitor the system, respond to incidents, fix defects, apply security patches, upgrade frameworks and dependencies, and deliver small enhancements from an agreed backlog. A named team learns your product and works to response times set out in the agreement, with a regular report on what was done.

It suits companies whose original developers have moved on, internal teams that want to focus on new work, and products that must stay dependable without a full-time engineering department. We start every engagement with an onboarding review, because we will not promise to support a system we have not read. Coverage is sized to how critical the software is.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Monitoring and alerting

Uptime, errors, performance and infrastructure are watched around the clock by automated tools, with alerts routed to the engineer on duty.

02
Incident response

When something breaks we investigate, restore service, communicate status in plain language and follow up with a written cause and prevention note.

03
Security patching

Dependencies, frameworks, operating systems and certificates are kept current, with vulnerability scans and prompt action on advisories that affect your stack.

04
Defect fixing

Reported bugs are reproduced, prioritized with you, corrected with a test that prevents recurrence and released through the normal deployment pipeline.

05
Upgrades and housekeeping

Major version upgrades, database maintenance, backup tests and cost reviews are planned well ahead so they never arrive as emergencies.

06
Continuous improvement

A share of each period goes to small features, performance work and usability fixes chosen from a backlog you control.

06How It Runs

From Kickoff to Launch

01
Onboard and review
02
Set up service
03
Operate and maintain
04
Report and adjust
01
Onboard and review

We read the code, run it locally, review infrastructure, backups and access, and report on its condition and risks before agreeing the level of support that makes sense.

02
Set up service

Monitoring, alerts, a ticket channel and deployment pipelines are configured, response targets are agreed and any urgent weaknesses found in the onboarding review are corrected first.

03
Operate and maintain

Requests and incidents are handled as they arrive, while patches, upgrades and backlog items are delivered in a steady, scheduled rhythm that you can plan around.

04
Report and adjust

A periodic review covers incidents, changes made, system health and upcoming risks, and we adjust priorities and coverage with you as the product and business evolve.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Your software is live and nobody is looking after it

The application runs the business, yet the people who built it are gone or busy elsewhere. Updates are overdue, small bugs accumulate and an outage would leave you searching for help. You want a dependable team that knows the system and keeps it in good order.

Products without an internal team
Internal teams needing extra capacity
Mobile apps needing store updates

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

Book a call

Yes, that is a large part of this service. We begin with an onboarding review in which we read the code, deploy it ourselves and document how it works. That tells us its condition and lets us quote support honestly. If we find serious risks, such as missing backups or exposed credentials, we raise them immediately and fix them first.

Typically monitoring, incident response within agreed targets, bug fixes, security and dependency updates, backups and a regular report, plus an allowance for small improvements. The exact coverage, hours of availability and response targets are set for your situation and written into the agreement. Larger new features are scoped and planned separately so the support capacity is protected.

Response targets depend on the severity of the problem and the level of cover you choose, and they are stated in the agreement. A production outage is treated differently from a cosmetic bug. Automated monitoring often alerts us before users notice. During an incident you receive updates in plain language until service is restored.

Both. Pure maintenance keeps software running while it slowly falls behind what users expect. We reserve part of each period for improvements you prioritize, such as a smoother form, a faster report or a small new feature. You see the backlog, choose what comes next and receive the changes through the same tested release process.

You can, with the notice period stated in the agreement. Everything stays in your accounts throughout, including repositories, cloud infrastructure and monitoring tools. On leaving we hand over current documentation, runbooks and any work in progress, and brief your new team. The service is designed so that you are never dependent on us.
