Application Maintenance and Support Services

FAQs

• How much does application maintenance and support cost?

  It depends on the complexity of the application and the amount of ongoing work required. We usually perform an initial investigation, calculate how much work is likely to be involved and look at how much time is required to achieve that. The work is usually done monthly ‘as-a-service’.

• Why should I keep my apps up to date?

  This is important – both for security and maintainability reasons. Older applications are usually built with tools that are no longer supported. As such, they are not updated to address modern security issues. This leaves your older applications exposed to attacks and misuse.

  Additionally, older applications are harder to maintain and can take longer to change – either when resolving issues or adding new functionality. Rebuilding these applications using modern techniques can address these issues.
