Software That Serves Your Business
Software maintenance presents challenges that are often underestimated. Critical systems fail during peak business hours, modifications take weeks instead of days, and the same issues resurface despite repeated fixes. These problems typically stem from technical debt accumulated over years of rushed development.
Our team operates from the northeastern United States. When you contact us during your business hours, you reach developers who can address technical issues directly—no ticket queues, no offshore handoffs.
We focus on understanding the technical and business context of your software: how systems evolved, which components create friction, and addressing underlying issues rather than adding temporary patches.
Many of our client relationships extend beyond a decade. We build systems designed for ongoing modification, document our decisions, and remain available for questions and updates.
Our experience spans multiple industries and technology stacks, from legacy mainframes to modern web applications. This breadth provides perspective on which approaches prove reliable over time.
We prevent issues through comprehensive documentation, knowledge transfer sessions, and architectural decisions that favor clarity over cleverness. The goal is software your team can understand and modify without requiring our constant involvement.
