Software Maintenance & Support

Ongoing care for the software your business depends on every day.

How we work
A support engineer with headphones around his neck watches a monitoring dashboard late at night.

Software is never finished. Libraries age, browsers change, a vendor updates its API on a Friday. Our support plans keep your systems secure, current and improving — with a team that already knows your code.

Each support plan includes monitoring, security patching, dependency updates, backups checks and a monthly bank of hours for fixes and improvements. You get a named lead who knows your system and a clear response time for urgent issues.

We take over support for software we built and for systems built by others. For inherited code we start with a health check so you know exactly what you are working with.

Once a month you receive a short, plain-language report: uptime, incidents, what we updated, what we recommend next.

Process

How a software maintenance & support project runs.

01

Discover

Interviews, a look at how the work really happens, and a short prototype of the riskiest idea. You get scope, budget and a roadmap in writing.

1–3 weeks
02

Design

Paper sketches, wireframes and clickable prototypes tested with real users, then a visual design system developers can build from.

2–4 weeks
03

Build

Two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You see progress in the software, not in a slide deck.

6–14 weeks
04

Launch & evolve

A careful release, training for your team, monitoring from day one — then a support plan that keeps the software improving.

Can unused hours roll over?

Yes, unused improvement hours roll over for one month.

Do you support software you did not build?
