Delivery · Maintenance · Isle of Man

Your systems,keptrunning.

We take over systems that are already built. Websites, web apps, platforms, mobile apps. Tiered service levels, Jira-tracked, with senior engineers and DevOps behind every fix, so the work continues even when people are on leave.

01The problem

The maintenance
trap.

Maintenance is the work that rarely gets budgeted for and that everything depends on. Kept in-house, it means paying full-time salaries for intermittent demand: engineers idle until something breaks, and often unavailable when it does.

The pattern is familiar. Updates accumulate because no one wants to disturb a working stack. Security patches are deferred. The one person who understands the deployment is unavailable when they are needed most. At best, performance slips; at worst, a single point of failure becomes an outage at the worst possible time.

02The takeover

What taking over
means.

You hand us the system as it runs today. We learn it, document it, and carry it. From then on, maintenance stops being a person and becomes a service. Bugs are tickets, tickets have SLAs, SLAs are met whether anyone is on leave or not.

Your fixes are made by engineers with senior developers reviewing them and DevOps shipping them, on a structured, ISO-informed process. Even where junior engineers do the routine work, mid-tier and senior developers stand directly behind them. That is why the work holds at a fraction of the in-house cost.

We do this today for estates of every size, from small business sites to high-traffic platforms.

03Service levels

Three levels. Pick per
system, mix across your estate.

Level 01

Keep-alive

Best effort · business hours

For sites that matter but are not time-critical.

  • Bugs and small changes resolved typically within a day
  • Business-hours response
  • Monitoring with downtime alerts
  • Weekly written report
Level 02Popular

Business-critical

Defined response · priority queue

For systems your revenue touches.

  • Defined response times
  • Same-day triage, priority queue
  • Security patching and updates on schedule
  • CDN and Cloudflare where it helps
  • Weekly written report
Level 03

Always-up

Guaranteed · active monitoring

For systems where downtime is a board-level concern.

  • Guaranteed response
  • Active monitoring with downtime alerts
  • Escalation to senior engineers
  • Cover planned in advance of any leave
  • The site stays up

Underneath every level: monitoring with downtime alerts, CDN and Cloudflare where it helps, and a weekly written report so you always know the state of your system.

04The comparison

Salaries versus
a service.

In-house maintenance
vs
Koneqt maintenance
Cost shape
Full-time salaries, with all their on-costs, for intermittent demand
A monthly service, sized to the estate
Cover
One or two people; leave creates gaps
The team provides the cover; SLAs hold through periods of leave
Expertise
Limited to what your hires know
Routine work by junior engineers, with seniors and DevOps for the difficult cases
Knowledge
Held in one person's head
Documented, Jira-tracked, owned by the team
Risk
A key person resigns and you start over
Continuity is structural; handovers are invisible to you
05The process

How taking over
works.

Audit

2–4 weeks

We map the system as it actually runs: code, hosting, deployments, dependencies, and the parts that were never documented. Two to four weeks for most estates. Larger or high-traffic estates need a deeper discovery, and we will flag that at the outset.

Stabilise

Triaged from audit

Documentation, monitoring and backlog triage. Deferred updates get a clear plan.

Carry

Ongoing

Tickets in, fixes out, to SLA, on an ongoing basis. You have full visibility of the board. Reports weekly. One-off onboarding effort in the first two to three months while we learn the estate. It happens once.

06Common questions

The questions you
were going to ask.

No, it is the normal case. We take over systems other teams built, including ones with no documentation. The audit exists precisely for that.
Yes. We maintain what runs. Where a rebuild or a platform move would save you real money, we will show you the case and the numbers, and it stays your call. Sometimes the right answer is moving a site to something easier to maintain. Sometimes the right answer is leaving a well-architected system exactly where it is.
We maintain WordPress estates, and plenty of them. Updates, security, plugins, performance, content support.
Then maintenance becomes the floor, not the ceiling. Development work runs through the same team under the same structure. Many clients start with maintenance and hand over development once they have seen the process work.
Less than the salaries it replaces, sized to your estate and the level you pick. Bring your stack list to a call. Where we can save you tooling costs along the way, we do that too. We recently replaced a client's unused licensed tooling with a setup that cost them nothing.
