Software that stalled, taken over and kept healthy.
One of our eight services:
Project rescue & ongoing care
Service VIII
The problem
The developer left, the agency moved on, or the build stopped halfway. The software still runs part of the business, nobody wants to touch it, and every change feels like it might break something.
Our approach
We take it over as it is. We read the code, find out what it depends on and what is fragile, fix what puts the business at risk first, and then keep it healthy.
What you get
A plain report on the state of the software
The risky parts fixed first
Security fixes and updates on a schedule
Documentation that stays with the software
Taking it over
We start by reading everything: the code, the servers it runs on, and whatever documentation exists. You get a plain-language report of what is solid, what is fragile, and what it would take to finish, before you decide on any work beyond it.
Steadying it
Fixes go in order of risk to the business. Anything that could lose data or stop sales comes first, cosmetic problems last. Every change is tested before it goes live, and we write down how the software works as we learn it, so the next person isn't starting from nothing.
Finishing a stalled build
Where a build stopped halfway, we decide with you whether to finish it as designed, change course, or replace one part of it. Each option comes with its own scope and price, in writing.
Replacing an aging system in stages
Some software is too old to keep patching and too important to switch off. We replace it one part at a time while the rest keeps running: the new part goes live, its records come across from the old system, and the team moves over before the next part starts. Nobody loses a week to a big switchover.
Ongoing care
Once it's steady, we keep it that way: security fixes and updates to the tools it is built on, on a schedule, a watch on errors and downtime, and a person to call when something goes wrong. If you later want to take it in-house, the documentation goes with it.
