Technology & Support

Software Support and Maintenance for Business Applications

This is for business software that already exists, including systems we did not build. We keep it running, fix what breaks and plan what should change next.

What we deliver

Scope of a Software Support & Maintenance Project

Bug Fixing

Reported problems investigated, reproduced and fixed, with a clear note of the cause.

Updates and Patches

Framework, library and server updates applied, and tested before going live.

Performance Tuning

Slow pages, queries and reports investigated and improved.

Code and Risk Review

An assessment of code quality, documentation gaps and dependency on outdated components.

Legacy System Care

Keeping older applications stable, including those using unsupported versions, while options are evaluated.

Modernisation Roadmap

A staged plan to replace or upgrade aging parts without a risky rewrite.

Key decision

Maintain, Refactor or Replace?

Maintain

When the system does its job and needs fixes, patches and small improvements, ongoing support is usually the sensible choice.

Refactor

When a working system is hard to change, restructuring key parts can restore speed without changing everything.

Replace

When the technology is unsupported or the business has outgrown it, a planned replacement, done in stages, may cost less than endless patching.
