Overview

Run, Maintain and Improve the Systems You Have.

Many critical systems are old, lightly documented and supported by a few people. We take over that support, document what we learn and make the systems easier to run.

Support covers incidents, problems, changes and small enhancements, under service levels agreed with you.

You Might Need This If…

  • Your developers spend more time fixing issues than building.
  • Support depends on one or two people who cannot take leave.
  • The original vendor has moved on and nobody owns the system.
  • Incidents repeat because root causes are never fixed.
  • You need cover outside office hours without hiring a night shift.

Examples

What This Work Looks Like

Two typical engagements: the problem, what we did, the team and the result.

Example scenario · Manufacturing group

Taking Over Support from a Departing Vendor

The situation

A custom planning system lost its support vendor with three months’ notice.

What we did

  • Shadowed the outgoing team and documented the system
  • Set up monitoring and runbooks
  • Took over first, second and third-line support
Team
Service manager, 3 support engineers, developer
Timeline
6-week transition, then ongoing
Result
Support continued without disruption to planners.

Example scenario · Travel company

24x7 Cover for Customer-Facing Applications

The situation

Overnight incidents waited until the morning because there was no out-of-hours team.

What we did

  • Set up follow-the-sun support from India and North America
  • Integrated with the client’s service desk and on-call tools
  • Reviewed the top repeat incidents each month
Team
Service manager, 6 support engineers across shifts
Timeline
Ongoing
Result
Incidents are picked up within minutes, day or night.

These examples show the kind of work we do. They are illustrative and do not describe a named client.

Team and pricing

Who You Work with, and How It’s Priced

Every engagement has a named delivery lead. Need individuals rather than a team? We place application support analysts, production support engineers, database administrators and more on contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire terms.

A Typical Team

Sized to the work; this is a common starting point.

  • Service manager1
  • Support engineers2–8
  • DeveloperFor enhancements
  • Database administratorAs needed

Project

A fixed scope and timeline, led by our delivery lead. Often fixed price for discovery and first release.

Dedicated Team

A stable team working on your backlog and tools, billed monthly. Scale up or down with notice.

Managed Service

We run and improve what has been built, against agreed service levels, for a monthly fee.

Hire application support analysts instead

FAQs

Questions We Often Hear

Can you support applications you did not build?

Yes. Most of our support work is for systems built by others. We start with a structured transition.

Do you use our service desk?

Yes. We work in your ServiceNow, Jira or other tool, so tickets stay in one place.

What service levels do you offer?

We agree response and resolution targets per priority, from business hours to 24x7, and report against them monthly.

Are enhancements included?

A monthly allowance of enhancement hours is common; larger changes are estimated separately.

How is support priced?

Usually a fixed monthly fee based on coverage hours and system complexity, reviewed each quarter.
