Stratford Consulting

Someone owns what comes next.

Continuing engineering for software that needs care long after the initial project is complete.

Software is an operating responsibility

Dependencies age. Infrastructure changes. New business requirements arrive. A system that was ready at handover still needs someone to make technical decisions and keep the evidence up to date.

We treat your software as an asset with a continuing owner. A named account manager connects the technical work, the support desk and your business priorities.

What a managed arrangement covers

  • Security patching and dependency maintenance.
  • Version management, releases and change records.
  • Support intake and a clear escalation route.
  • Documentation maintained alongside the system.
  • Engineering improvements agreed against your priorities.
  • An annual technical health review.

Agree the boundaries

We establish the systems covered, hours of support, response priorities and the responsibilities of each party. Availability and response commitments belong in a written agreement, based on the service you need.

Keep the asset transferable

Documentation and access should help your organisation retain control. We plan for handover as well as operation, so ownership does not depend on one developer remembering how the system works.
