Updates are put off
No one really knows what will be affected if PHP, the framework or a dependency is upgraded.
PHP
Do you have a PHP system your business depends on? We take ongoing responsibility for existing PHP systems so they can be maintained, updated and developed as your business needs change.

A system does not need to be rebuilt just because it has been around for a few years. But someone needs to know the solution, keep track of what is happening and be able to act when something needs to change.
We get to know the system and provide the continuity you need so you don't have to start from scratch every time something happens.
No one really knows what will be affected if PHP, the framework or a dependency is upgraded.
Problems get emergency fixes, but the root cause is never properly addressed.
The system becomes vulnerable when all the knowledge sits with one developer or supplier.
The system works, but it is becoming harder to meet new needs while keeping changes under control.
We help you keep track of PHP versions, frameworks and other dependencies and plan updates before they become urgent. This reduces the risk of suddenly being left with technology that is no longer supported.
Legacy PHP systems often contain both sound business logic and parts that have become hard to maintain. We distinguish between what works and what actually needs improving.
The goal is not to rewrite everything. The goal is to make the system more stable and easier to keep working on.
We work with both custom-built PHP solutions and systems built with Laravel, Symfony and other frameworks. Technology matters when it comes to implementation, but we always start with what the business needs the system to do.
When you need new features or changes to workflows, we make those changes with an understanding of the existing system. This helps you manage their impact and reduces the risk of an improvement creating new problems elsewhere.
You don't need to know exactly what maintenance is required. Tell us how the system is used, what tends to go wrong and what you'll need it to do in future, and we'll start there.
