Support & Maintenance

Software Support & Maintenance

Launch is the beginning. We keep your software secure, up to date and improving — with clear response processes and monthly reporting.

Overview

Support & Maintenance, designed around real use

Frameworks, operating systems and third-party APIs change constantly. Without maintenance, even well-built software slowly becomes insecure and unreliable.

Our support plans cover proactive updates and monitoring as well as reactive fixes, and can include a monthly allowance for improvements and new features.
