Software Maintenance and Support Services
Monitoring, updates, backups and a named person who answers — for websites, web applications, desktop software and mobile apps, whether or not we built them.
Software does not stay working on its own
Nothing about your system changes, and yet it breaks. A browser updates, a payment gateway retires an API, a certificate expires, a plugin gets a vulnerability, a disk fills up. Maintenance is the work of catching those before your customers do.

Working with clients in India and the USA
India
Chennai and nationwideSupport through the Indian working day, on-site attendance in Chennai where a problem needs someone at the machine, and coordination with your local hosting or ISP when the fault is theirs. Invoices in INR with GST.
United States
Remote, overlapping hoursCover that overlaps US mornings, with urgent incidents picked up before your day starts because our day is already running. Reports and reviews scheduled in your time zone, invoices in USD.
Frequently asked questions
Will you support software you did not build?
Yes, and a lot of this work is exactly that. We start with a review of the code, hosting and backups, tell you what we found, and agree what can be supported as it stands and what should be fixed first.
Is there a minimum contract?
Cover is arranged monthly or annually, and you can move between levels as your needs change. We do not hold your accounts or code as leverage if you leave.
What is not included?
New features and major version upgrades are quoted separately, so a maintenance retainer is not quietly consumed by a project. Everything else in the list above is covered.
Do you manage hosting too?
We can manage the server, or work alongside your existing hosting provider. Either way, the accounts remain in your name.
What if we want to take it in-house later?
Then we document everything and hand it over properly. That has happened before and it is a fair outcome, not a dispute.
