Cost-Effective Annual Application Maintenance & Support
A growing startup successfully developed and launched its custom business application with the help of a third-party vendor. However, when it came time to renew their maintenance & support contract, they faced significant challenges due to high costs, lack of flexibility, and limited documentation. Seeking a more affordable and scalable solution, they turned to Vanguardnode to take over application maintenance and support.
The Challenge
High Maintenance Costs & Lack of Flexibility
Despite having a functioning application, the startup encountered multiple roadblocks when dealing with their previous vendor:
-
💰 Overpriced Maintenance Contracts – The vendor’s pricing was significantly higher than market rates, making ongoing support unsustainable.
-
🔄 Lack of Flexibility – The client required custom modifications and scalability but found the vendor’s charges for enhancements too expensive.
-
🔍 Limited Documentation & Code Access – The original vendor provided incomplete documentation, making it difficult to transition to another service provider.
-
🚀 Business Growth Delayed – Without a cost-effective maintenance plan, the client struggled to enhance features, optimize performance, and scale operations.
To sustain long-term growth while managing operational expenses, the startup decided to take full ownership of their source code and partner with a more reliable and cost-effective technology provider.
