In Newcastle
Looking after systems that nobody on staff owns
Many Newcastle organisations rely on a system built years ago by someone who has moved on. Software maintenance in Newcastle starts with a review of code, hosting and backups, then sets a regular routine so the system stays safe and supported.
Distance has not been a problem for Newcastle clients. We keep one shared project space, agree dates in writing and hold calls at times that suit Newcastle hours, which sit 2 to 3 hours ahead of Perth.
- Maintenance windows planned
- Undocumented systems mapped
- Priorities by risk
Common situations
What Newcastle clients usually ask us to solve
Operational systems
Operational systems are used every day, so failures stop work. We keep them patched, monitored and backed up, and agree response times for problems.
Tools from departed developers
Tools built by a departed developer often have no documentation. We read the code, map the data and processes and write guides so you are no longer dependent on one person.
Systems facing audits
Systems facing a customer or security audit need evidence of care. We maintain records of patches, backups and changes.

Older software needs more care, as it is harder to patch and test.
Essential systems call for faster response and tighter monitoring.
Where the software runs shapes the work involved and the risks to manage.
Poor documentation slows the initial set-up while we learn the system.
