How we deliver
Frameworks that guide this engagement.
Delivery practices are adapted to the pillar—project controls where programmes need stage governance, service practices where continuous operation is the goal.
PRINCE2
Where major changes or improvement programmes run inside the managed estate, project controls keep scope, risk and decision rights explicit.

FAQ
Common questions
When should software move into managed support?
Once acceptance and operational readiness are clear. Managed Software keeps ownership visible after the project team steps back.
Does managed support replace product teams?
Not necessarily. It can run alongside product delivery capacity when you need both continuity of operation and ongoing feature work.
How are service levels defined?
Response and resolution expectations are agreed during service definition for the systems and severity levels in scope—never as generic unverified uptime claims.
