Software you already own

Stuck with software nobody knows how to maintain?

Maybe the developer left. Maybe the vendor disappeared. Maybe it works, but everybody is afraid to touch it. I can help figure out what you have, how it works, and what needs attention first.

Start with a focused assessment

Nothing has to be broken today. If the software is poorly understood or depends on one person, I can map the important parts and show you what needs attention first.

  • Source code, hosting and deployment discovery
  • Application, database and dependency mapping
  • Documentation for the people who operate it
  • A prioritized list of risks and practical next steps

Stabilize before replacing

A rebuild is not always the right first move. I help separate urgent risk from useful, fixable software.

  • Small safe changes and maintenance
  • Runtime, dependency and hosting updates
  • Bug fixes and operational improvements
  • A clear recommendation for what comes next

What inherited software looks like

The system may still work, but the business is carrying operational risk because only one person understands it.

  • A former developer or vendor is unavailable
  • A single employee knows the deployment steps
  • CSV imports, reports or approvals depend on old routines
  • Documentation is missing or no longer trustworthy

What ongoing support can include

After the first map is clear, the work can be narrowly scoped around what helps the business most.

  • Document the application and operating procedures
  • Fix defects and improve fragile workflows
  • Connect the application to another system
  • Extend useful software instead of replacing it blindly

If the software is failing now

Two sensible ways to start

Some businesses call when the inherited system is already failing. Others want to understand the risk before a bad day forces the issue.

Is the inherited system broken right now?

Start with the rescue page when an old or abandoned application is actively failing.

Go to Legacy Software Rescue

Nothing is broken, but nobody understands it?

Start an assessment conversation to map the system, its dependencies and the next practical step.

Tell me what the system does, what you need it to do and what is difficult about maintaining it today.
