Back to How we work
The plain facts
Handover options
Every client is different, so handover is agreed in the job spec. There are three levels.
Three levels
Level 1: code access
Your team can read and audit the code, and approve changes before they ship. We do the upkeep.
Level 2: trained and in control
Your team is trained to run and direct the system. We keep the code and the upkeep.
Level 3: ownership, by agreement
Offered on some builds as a priced option, in writing, before work starts: a buyout, or the full source with a licence for your own use. Some builds cannot be bought out.
Questions about handover
What does a buyout cost?
A part for the code itself, plus the monthly fee still owed for the rest of the term you chose. Your quote shows the figure.
We already own our system. Does this apply?
No. When we take over a system you own, you keep the code. You pay for a review, the work to make it stable, and the monthly upkeep.
