Ongoing Partnership

Managed Services. Ongoing support for digital platforms.

Monthly retainer. Fixed allotment or actual effort.

Service

Ongoing support, without knowledge loss.

  1. The challenge

    Onboarding a new service provider after go-live means losing knowledge, about architecture decisions, technical dependencies and the context behind every requirement. Content maintenance, technical updates, bug fixes and new feature requests then land with a team that only knows the platform from the outside. That costs time, introduces errors and slows down further development.
  2. Our approach

    We support what we built, with the same team that knows the architecture and needs no onboarding. A dedicated contact knows the platform, the requirements and the organisation, and is directly reachable. Not through an anonymous ticket system without any context. The scope is flexible: from a few hours a month for ongoing maintenance to intensive further development. Billing is on a monthly retainer basis, either as a fixed allotment or based on actual effort. This service is the natural continuation of our enterprise web platforms and custom applications.

Case in point

In practice

  1. Industry

    Enterprise / industry
  2. Challenge

    An enterprise platform handed over to an external agency without project experience after launch. The error rate rose noticeably within three months, average response time to critical issues: 48 hours. Internal frustration on the editorial side grew.
  3. Approach

    Support returned to the original development team, a full platform review, the setup of transparent monitoring and reporting, and a fixed monthly status call.
  4. Result

    Incident rate halved within 60 days, response times to critical issues under 4 hours, further development plannable and budgetable again.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Managed services are billed on a monthly retainer basis, as a fixed allotment with defined hours or based on actual effort with monthly invoicing. The scope depends on platform complexity and the desired depth of support. Concrete figures after an initial systems consultation.

  • Yes, after a platform audit that assesses architecture, system landscape and technical debt. On that basis we define the scope and terms of support together.

  • A systems briefing and platform handover. No onboarding needed for MOKOM 01’s own projects, for external platforms with an onboarding sprint whose effort is clearly defined in advance.

Every hour of onboarding for a new support teamis effort the original team simply doesn’t incur.
