Method
How we work
Every engagement follows the same principle: understand before changing, and document everything.
- 01
Assessment
Review of the environment, configuration and reported issues. Metrics are collected before anything is changed.
- 02
Plan
Proposed actions with risks, change windows and a rollback plan, agreed with your team.
- 03
Execution
Changes applied in a controlled way, with verification after each step.
- 04
Documentation and handover
A record of what was done and why, operating procedures, and knowledge transfer to your in-house team.
Engagement models
- Project
- Scope, deliverables and timeline agreed upfront. Suited to migrations, upgrades and audits.
- Hours bank
- Pre-purchased hours for ongoing operational support, used as needed.
- Ad-hoc support
- Specific interventions: an incident, a configuration review, a technical second opinion.
Remote by default; on-site in the Lisbon area when needed.
