Application Launch & Support

We launch applications and continue to maintain them alongside your team so they stay usable, secure and dependable.

Service 05 / 07

Overview

Overview

A new release always meets real users in ways nobody fully anticipated. For each launch we prepare an internal release guide describing how new functionality works, what to watch for, and what future iterations are planned.

After launch we work with your personnel on maintenance, upgrades, reporting and documentation, so the application keeps performing as your organization changes.

Scope

What the service includes

  • Scheduled database and server backups, maintenance and tuning
  • Testing and deployment of OS and application upgrades and security patches
  • Monthly reporting on metrics you define, such as uptime and maintenance activity
  • System and user documentation updates
  • System monitoring, notifications and alerting
  • Analytics dashboards and search engine optimization reporting
