Managed Support & Maintenance

Ongoing support, fixes and development after a system is already live, for applications ETECHTICS built, or any existing codebase.

Overview

Support That Continues After Launch

Managed Support & Maintenance covers the ongoing work that keeps a live application dependable, resolving issues, keeping dependencies current, and continuing development as needs change.

This is the general, framework-independent version of ongoing support; framework-specific versions exist for ASP.NET Zero applications on their own pages.

Core Capabilities

What We Provide

Bug Resolution

Diagnosing and resolving issues in a live application, quickly and safely.

Dependency & Version Upgrades

Keeping frameworks and dependencies current over time.

Ongoing Development

New features and improvements as part of the same relationship.

Technical Improvements

Addressing technical debt and improving the application over time.

What This Helps You Solve

Common Situations

A Live Application With No Support Coverage

A system that's live but has no one actively maintaining it.

An Original Team That's Moved On

A codebase whose original developers are no longer available.

A Backlog of Fixes and Requests

Known issues and requests never prioritised.

Dependencies Falling Out of Date

An application that's fallen behind on routine upgrades.

Deep Dive

How Ongoing Support Works

A repeatable cycle that keeps a live application dependable over time.

1

Learn the System

Get familiar with the existing codebase, however it was originally built.

2

Triage & Prioritise

Assess incoming issues and requests, and agree what to work on first.

3

Resolve & Improve

Fix issues, apply upgrades, and make technical improvements.

4

Test Before Release

Validate every change carefully before it reaches the live application.

5

Review & Continue

Revisit priorities regularly as the application's needs evolve.

How We Work

How We Approach Support Engagements

1

Discover

Understanding the existing application and its history before agreeing on scope.

2

Design & Build

Working within the application's existing conventions and architecture.

3

Validate

Testing every fix and improvement carefully before it goes live to users.

4

Release & Support

Releasing changes, then continuing the cycle as an ongoing engagement.

Why ETECHTICS

Why ETECHTICS for Managed Support & Maintenance

Ongoing support scoped to what an application actually needs.

Works on Any Codebase

Support that starts by understanding the application, whoever built it.

Fixes and Features Both

New features and improvements delivered alongside bug resolution, not instead of it.

No Fixed, One-Size Tier

Scope and response expectations agreed for each engagement, not a fixed package.

Continuity Over Time

A long-term relationship that keeps building familiarity with your codebase.

FAQ

Managed Support & Maintenance FAQ

What does Managed Support & Maintenance cover?

Ongoing support, bug fixes, and continued development for an application after it's already live, whether or not ETECHTICS built it originally.

Is this the same as the ASP.NET Zero Support & Maintenance page?

No. That page covers ongoing support specifically for applications built on ASP.NET Zero. This page is the general, framework-independent version.

Do you offer a fixed support-level agreement?

Support scope and response expectations are agreed per engagement rather than sold as one fixed, one-size-fits-all tier.

Can you support an application you didn't build?

In most cases, yes, after getting familiar with the existing codebase before taking on ongoing responsibility for it.

Is this only bug fixes, or can new features be added too?

Both. Alongside fixes, ongoing development and new feature work is a normal part of a support engagement, not an exception to it.
