01

The problem this solves

Support arrangements come apart when responsibility is unclear, or when the responsible person meets your code for the first time on the day it fails. This one opens with an onboarding week spent learning the system properly. From then on: proactive monitoring, security patching, and 20 engineering hours a month applied to fixes and minor improvements, with response times named in the agreement. Unused hours carry over once; the term rolls monthly.

02

What you receive

  1. One named engineer plus a documented deputy, both onboarded to your system
  2. Monitoring around the clock, alerting on availability and on error rates
  3. Critical issues answered inside 2 hours during business hours
  4. 20 hours of engineering a month, spent on fixes and small changes
  5. Security patches applied monthly to operating system, framework and dependencies
  6. Backups verified, with a restore exercised each quarter
  7. A monthly report covering incidents, completed work and what we advise next

03

What changes afterwards

When something fails, the engineer answering already knows the system

Patching happens on a schedule rather than in the wake of an incident

Small improvements keep going out instead of sitting in a queue

04

Is it the right fit?

Ideal for

  • Companies running a live product with no engineers of their own
  • Businesses whose developer has moved on while the software keeps running
  • Teams that need cover across holidays and unplanned absence

What we need from you

  • Access to the repository, the infrastructure and the monitoring
  • One contact who can set the priority of the monthly queue
  • Any documentation you hold, however dated it may be

05

Before you buy

Yes. It is in Indian rupees with 18% GST included, and it is exactly what you pay at checkout. Nothing is added afterwards for the scope listed on this page.

The working days are counted from the day we hold your payment, the completed brief and everything listed under “What we need from you”. If an input arrives late, the handover date moves by the same number of days.

Ask before you buy. We will confirm in writing whether it sits inside this scope, point you to a better-fitting service, or tell you it needs separate work.

On full payment, the code, configuration, designs and documents produced for this service belong to your organisation, as set out in our Terms.

Each unit repeats the listed scope once. It does not stretch a single unit to cover more.
