What Expert Systems Technology may operate
Application services, APIs, databases, production infrastructure, telemetry, deployments, release workflows, backup/restore and contract-defined incident operations.
MANAGED WEB SERVICES / MANAGED APPLICATION
Business-critical software,
continuously operated.
For complex portals, SaaS products, operational dashboards, billing, workflow and transactional applications.
Custom Monthly Engagement — Consultation Required
01 / WHO THIS IS FOR
When software sits inside the operation.
Managed Application is for systems whose reliability, workflows, transactions or data directly affect customers, staff, revenue or core service delivery.
Typical examples include large portals, SaaS applications, internal systems, booking and billing platforms, workflow systems and multi-user operational products.
02 / BUSINESS-CRITICAL RESPONSIBILITY
Operation is part of the architecture.
Customer responsibility
Business policy, authorised data use, internal process ownership, timely decisions, user administration and responsibilities assigned by the contract.
Capacity & incidents
Capacity planning, service levels, escalation, response and recovery are scoped against actual criticality rather than assumed from a package name.
Security & reliability
Identity, permissions, environment isolation, observability, backup and recovery are designed around the application’s data and operating risk.
03 / ARCHITECTURE & ENVIRONMENTS
Built to release,
observe and recover.
The final architecture may include separate development and production environments, controlled deployment, structured logging, monitoring, backups and tested recovery responsibilities.

04 / COMMERCIAL MODEL
Custom Monthly Engagement.
No artificially precise public range is shown. Pricing follows functional scope, users, integrations, data, infrastructure, service levels, support and operational responsibility.
Consultation is required before classification and scope can be confirmed.
05 / OWNERSHIP & OPERATION
The contract defines the model.
06 / FAQ
Before consultation.
A system may be business critical when downtime, data loss or failed workflows materially disrupt customers, staff, revenue or core operations.
Ownership, licensing and operation are contractual. A Managed Application does not imply one universal ownership model.
A fully bespoke owned solution requires a separate discussion about delivery, intellectual property and ongoing operation.
The response boundary, service levels, communication and recovery responsibilities are defined in the scoped contract.
07 / PRE-CONSULTATION
Give us the operating context.
This short intake captures the problem, expected users, key requirements, criticality and a proposed consultation time. Do not include sensitive production data.
