Software Safeguarded

Software Safeguarded

Software knowledge and code always up to date, with documentation safely stored externally in a digital vault.

Good up-to-date documentation remains a major challenge for every project, regardless of size or team composition. Excessive dependency on a small number of developers or suppliers is also a common concern. These issues often surface during potential acquisitions and mergers. To address them, ESBL developed Software Safeguarded.

Knowledge as a Service

Software Safeguarded is insurance for the knowledge, code and documentation of your platform.

Software Safeguarded consists of a virtual vault containing up-to-date functional and technical documentation, supported by two team members who maintain the vault and can be deployed for incidents, urgent requests or onboarding new team members. The Safeguarding Team also acts as a point of contact that can connect with a development team that may be located abroad.

The process can be divided into two parts:
  1. Inventory and organising documentation
  2. Keeping knowledge and documentation periodically up to date
The time required depends strongly on software complexity. Part one usually takes 2 to 8 weeks, while part two takes roughly 6 to 16 hours per week.

On one hand, you get a team that is always reachable and deployable. On the other, you get up-to-date documentation everyone can work with. Knowledge is documented in a way that stakeholders can always access and that cannot be captured by malicious actors.

When software is safeguarded, it creates more certainty for management, stakeholders and potential acquisition or merger candidates.

Costs depend strongly on the complexity of the software. After a short no-obligation screening, we can quickly provide an indication. Call (020 210 1978) or email (info@esbl.digital) for more information. You can also schedule an introduction directly through this link.
