What is Ongoing Support and Maintenance?
Ongoing support and maintenance refer to the continuous monitoring, updating, and enhancement of a product, system, or application to ensure its long-term effectiveness, security, and relevance. This process involves regularly checking the system’s performance, addressing any issues that arise, applying necessary updates, and making improvements based on user feedback and evolving business needs. Ongoing support and maintenance are crucial for keeping your product or system running smoothly, preventing downtime, and adapting to changing technologies and market conditions.
