Application Support Maintenance

Application Support & Software Maintenance

We'll support and maintain your software — even if we didn't build it

From urgent bug fixes to technical inquiries and modification requests, we keep your applications healthy throughout their entire lifespan — so your customers keep getting the maximum benefit from every feature.

Why maintenance?

Software needs care to keep delivering value

Business, technology and other factors change — and your software product may no longer serve your company as well as it once did. Application maintenance is the essential work that keeps a program functioning correctly and reliably, guaranteeing your customers continue to benefit from it.

Our support services

Full, consistent, dedicated support for the life of your system

Commitment

We stick with it

Once applications go live, we stay. Even if you're not a current DevSight customer, we can take on any application and support it for the rest of its life.

SLA

Response you can rely on

Our front-line support team and development & QA teams are committed to timely assistance, governed by a formal Assistance Level Agreement (SLA).

Access

Help when you need it

Online helpdesk open Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, monitored after hours — plus phone and email. Track every request and add details at any time.

System takeover

We rescue systems others can't or won't

Custom software projects fail for many reasons — the result is often a dysfunctional system and a suffering business. Your first aim is to get back to normal as quickly as possible, and our specialists genuinely enjoy learning new systems and technologies.

Offshore outsourced projects that are poor quality or unfinished
Software that isn't fit for purpose
Development companies or developers going out of business mid-project
An independent consultant who has moved on
Fallouts over project slippage or poor quality
Software built on bad or outdated programming languages

Our experts locate the root of any problem, explain what happened, and offer a plan to address it — leaving you free to run your business while we handle the technical challenges.

How support works

A clear, accountable support process

1

Submit a ticket

All requests go through our internal online helpdesk, followed up by trained helpdesk support staff. You get a confirmation, then your ticket is triaged.

2

Escalation when needed

If support can't resolve it immediately, or it's a new feature, the ticket escalates to Development or QA — and the right specialist fixes it promptly.

3

Track everything

Every customer gets online helpdesk access to monitor requests and add further detail. Phone and email support are always available too.

Existing customers

Maintenance and upgrades, fully handled

Current DevSight clients rest easy knowing we take care of all the maintenance and upgrades associated with hosting an application — so if something fails, your business isn't impacted by downtime. For urgent issues that compromise your work or your customers' experience, submit a ticket with a full description, the actions you took, and a screenshot — then call us directly.
