It’s often overlooked that maintenance of existing software applications and porting of obsolete software to modern platforms are adjacent business processes. Edvantis offers both services, so we are able to advise our clients without bias on when it makes sense to maintain existing software to take the most cost out of it, and when it’s better to consider porting.

As your portfolio of products and solutions developed in-house increases, you’ll be finding maintaining, customizing, versioning, and integrating this software increasingly complicated an expensive. Software maintenance is a science and a craft in itself, and most solution vendors find it very beneficial to contract help from specialists like Edvantis. Then our customers can focus on developing their businesses knowing that their portfolio of existing solutions is properly maintained at minimum cost. Our broad experience in software maintenance assures quick learning of your product, sharing this knowledge among your dedicated maintenance team at Edvantis, and demonstrating measurable improvement shortly after the project starts. While implementing enhancements and fixing defects, Edvantis assures the product functionality unchanged by means of tailored regression tests. Our approach is thoroughly documented in The Edvantis Way^SM : Software Maintenance and Porting (TEW:SMP) which our teams use as an integrity source in the course of implementing the most complex projects.

If your software solution is based on a legacy platform, it will become ever more difficult to be maintained as the underlying software and/or hardware platforms become no longer supported by the vendors. You will want to understand what’s the right strategy of moving to a newer platform while ensuring that you’ve taken all possible cost out of the legacy solution. Edvantis can help; contact us now at to learn more about applying TEW:SMP.
