Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
- What is included in software maintenance and support services?
Software maintenance and support encompasses a comprehensive range of services designed to keep applications running optimally. Our offerings include bug fixing and issue resolution to eliminate errors and restore functionality, performance optimization to improve speed and system efficiency, and security patches and updates to protect against emerging threats. We also provide feature enhancements to adapt software to evolving business needs, third-party integrations to connect with essential business tools, and database management and optimization for reliable data operations. Additionally, we offer 24/7 technical support for immediate assistance when issues arise. These services work together to ensure software remains secure, efficient, and aligned with business objectives throughout its lifecycle.
- How quickly can issues be resolved?
Response and resolution times depend on issue severity and service level agreements. Our approach prioritizes issues based on business impact. Critical issues affecting system availability receive immediate attention with resolution targets within hours, while high-priority bugs impacting key functionality are addressed within 24 hours. Medium-priority issues are resolved within 2-3 business days, and low-priority enhancements and minor issues follow scheduled maintenance windows. All timelines are backed by SLA commitments with clear escalation paths, and automated monitoring helps identify and resolve many issues before they impact users. Our goal is to minimize disruption and maintain business continuity through rapid, reliable response across all issue types.
- Do you provide support outside regular business hours?
Yes, our support operates around the clock to serve global businesses. Our coverage includes 24/7 technical support availability for critical and urgent issues, multi time zone support with teams distributed across regions, and weekend and holiday coverage to ensure continuous operations. We maintain dedicated on-call specialists for emergency situations and have remote access capabilities for immediate troubleshooting. We also offer flexible support models tailored to specific business requirements. Businesses can rely on expert assistance whenever technical challenges arise, regardless of time or location.
- How do you ensure software security and compliance?
Security and compliance are foundational to our maintenance approach. Our comprehensive security measures include continuous monitoring of vulnerability databases and security advisories, prompt application of critical security patches and updates, and regular security audits and penetration testing. We maintain compliance for industry standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR, implement encryption protocol updates and authentication strengthening, and have security incident response and recovery procedures in place. We also provide documentation and reporting for audit requirements. This multi-layered approach protects sensitive data, maintains regulatory compliance, and mitigates security risks proactively.
- Can you work with legacy systems and older technologies?
Yes, we have extensive experience maintaining and supporting legacy systems. Our capabilities include support for older programming languages, frameworks, and platforms, as well as maintenance of applications built on outdated technology stacks. We develop gradual modernization strategies to reduce technical debt and facilitate integration of legacy systems with modern applications. When technology refresh is needed, we provide platform migration services, and we also handle documentation of undocumented legacy code. Knowledge transfer services prevent dependency on single resources. We help businesses extend the life of existing investments while planning strategic technology evolution.
- What happens during the onboarding process?
Our onboarding process ensures smooth transition and comprehensive understanding of systems. The process includes initial discovery sessions to understand application architecture and business processes, documentation review and knowledge transfer from existing teams, and access setup and environment configuration. We focus on identification of critical systems, workflows, and dependencies, establishment of communication protocols and escalation paths, and baseline performance monitoring and health assessment. We also work with you on the definition of SLAs, priorities, and success metrics. This structured approach minimizes disruption and establishes a foundation for effective ongoing maintenance and support.
- How do you handle feature requests and enhancements?
Feature requests and enhancements follow a structured evaluation and implementation process. Our approach includes intake and documentation of all enhancement requests, business impact assessment and prioritization, and technical feasibility analysis and effort estimation. We implement approval workflows aligned with organizational decision-making and schedule implementation during planned maintenance windows. Before production deployment, we conduct thorough testing and quality assurance, and provide user training and documentation updates as needed. This ensures enhancements deliver value, align with business goals, and are implemented without disrupting existing operations.
