Through application evolution, we enhance the functionality, performance, and usability of our clients’ solutions, adapting them to ever-evolving market and user demands. To ensure a comprehensive software transformation, our professionals update our clients’ apps with user-focused features, implement the necessary integrations, and incorporate the latest tech innovations, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR). We also modernize legacy systems by undertaking various initiatives, including adopting a microservices architecture, performing back-end refactoring, updating user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design, and even rebuilding the entire system from the ground up.
Our strong maintenance and support team ensures stable and uninterrupted operation for our clients’ solutions, as stipulated by service-level agreements (SLAs). We continuously monitor apps for smooth performance, full availability, and frictionless UX, tracking key performance metrics, such as response time, network latency, throughput, and others. We also conduct various types of usability and performance testing, including load, scalability, and exploratory testing, promptly detecting all potential issues and effectively addressing them. This integrated approach gives our clients peace of mind and ensures their solutions are free of performance bottlenecks and available 24/7/365 to deliver elevated customer experiences for users.
To guarantee the protection, resilience, and safety of our clients’ solutions in the face of vulnerabilities, data breaches, and system failures, we plan, build, and implement a wide range of security strategies and capitalize on relevant best practices. Among them are round-the-clock security monitoring, comprehensive assessments and regular audits, scheduled vulnerability and misconfiguration diagnostics, stress testing, software updates and patching, and many others. If you strive to keep your app in optimal condition while ensuring its long-term integrity, security, and sustainability, you can trust EffectiveSoft to achieve this goal.
Our application maintenance and support services include application compliance management, through which we ensure our clients’ solutions adhere to established industry standards and regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more. We conduct ongoing compliance reviews, create holistic reports based on these reviews, assess existing risks, and offer relevant updates in the event of regulatory changes, among other activities. Relying on application compliance management allows businesses to not only streamline internal processes and prevent security breaches and the loss of confidential data but also foster customer trust and eliminate potential financial and legal implications.
Do you encounter ongoing software issues that disrupt your business operations and require immediate fixing? Leverage our user help desk and basic troubleshooting services. We provide first-line assistance to our clients’ customers and employees to address straightforward technical issues related to their software, networks, systems, and more. We also answer IT-related questions, prioritize and track issues using a support ticketing system, and provide self-help resources to ensure all problems are resolved quickly and efficiently. If addressing a technical bottleneck is beyond the capabilities of our service desk technicians, we escalate the problem to experts with more specialized knowledge.
In addition to basic troubleshooting, our maintenance and support team provides more complex technical assistance. Through advanced- and expert-level troubleshooting, we resolve a wide range of intricate problems, including system failures, security breaches, software compatibility issues, and more. To address bottlenecks, we perform issue root cause analysis, install software patches, and complete network configurations in addition to other remedial tasks. By leaning on our expert guidance and round-the-clock accessibility, organizations swiftly resolve urgent issues of increased complexity, restoring the operation of their solutions, minimizing downtime, and ensuring continuous service delivery to users.
Changelog management is a critical aspect of software maintenance and support, underscoring a company’s responsiveness to user feedback and commitment to continuous improvement. We not only help our clients efficiently implement the necessary changes into their solutions but also accurately document all modifications made, including configuration changes, software updates, feature enhancements, and more. By creating, managing, and maintaining detailed changelogs, we enable business stakeholders, developers, and users to stay fully informed about the application evolution process, fostering trust, collaboration, and transparency, as well as facilitating further troubleshooting.

support
L1 support is the initial point of contact for end users who encounter IT-related issues and need assistance. At this tier of support, our technicians handle user help desk requests and resolve common technical issues, such as software installation, access permissions, and account setup. The L1 support we provide is compliant with the agreed-upon SLA terms and conditions, such as support hours, response time, and requests per hour, offering the quickest solutions to basic problems. If the problem cannot be addressed through L1 assistance, it is escalated to the subsequent level.
L2 support focuses on handling and troubleshooting more complex IT issues, such as software configuration and server performance bottlenecks, requiring a deeper understanding of technologies and products. At this tier, our app support and maintenance technicians conduct root cause analysis of issues, create suitable workarounds, manage data backups and recovery, document recovery attempts, and fulfill many other relevant tasks in accordance with established SLAs. Issues that cannot be fixed at this tier are escalated to the next line of support.
L3 support is considered the highest level of technical assistance, dealing with the most complicated and challenging issues that require the in-depth expertise of subject matter experts (SMEs), such as software architects and engineers. Outages, system defects, and cybersecurity breaches are a few examples of such incidents. At this tier, our experts perform deep root cause analysis, implement relevant configurations, and participate in immediate incident response management and resolutions. They also guide DevOps and support engineers in preventing similar issues from recurring and update the technical documentation created at L2.
We are excited to explore the intricacies of your software maintenance and support requirements, and to gain a thorough understanding of your unique needs. By comprehending the challenges and objectives you face, we can customize our support services to optimize the performance of your software systems, ensuring that your business operates smoothly and achieves its goals with maximum efficiency.
process
We begin by examining your existing solution, including its architecture and code, running various types of functional and non-functional testing, and studying related documentation.
We then define the scope of services needed, the appropriate terms and conditions, and payment details. We include this information into a maintenance proposal and submit it to the client.
Next, we create a robust roadmap, where we outline a suitable maintenance and support strategy as well as the necessary initiatives, tools, and best practices required for implementation.
With the roadmap validated, we launch the project, assign roles, and delegate tasks, ensuring full alignment with the procedures detailed in the roadmap.
We undertake a full range of maintenance and support activities based on business requirements and needs, reporting achieved milestones and project deliverables.

tech stack
Although the terms maintenance and support are related and often used interchangeably, there are clear-cut distinctions between them in terms of scope, types of clients served, and cost.
Software maintenance is a proactive process, involving scheduled or planned activities to resolve non-urgent issues and make improvements in all aspects of software. IT companies deliver ongoing maintenance services to clients with whom they have software development contracts, charging a fixed monthly fee for maintenance. This fee is typically higher due to the continuous involvement and long-term commitment of the maintenance team.
Software support, on the other hand, is reactive in its nature. It focuses on providing immediate fixes to emergency issues that can negatively impact software operation, cause performance bottlenecks, and lead to business downtime. Software development companies offer technical support for various solutions, including those built by in-house teams or third-party vendors. The cost of support services is typically based on the pay-as-you-go model and hinges on specific incidents in most cases.
The cost of app support and maintenance varies significantly from company to company and depends on a wide range of factors, including software type, complexity, integrations, availability requirements, and customizations. The size of the maintenance team, their competencies, time coverage needed, the number of software users, and the type of maintenance sought—adaptive, corrective, perfective, preventive, continuous, or on-demand—are other essential criteria that can impact the final price.
