Services: Application Support

Managed Application Support built for the long term

We support your applications - with a dedicated team, deep platform knowledge, and a structured model for ongoing enhancement, incident response, and operational stability.

What makes our model different

We embed into whatever you run

Whether we built it or inherited it, we bring the same model - dedicated team, deep platform knowledge, no revolving door.

One team, for the long run

The same people who onboard your platform stay on it. No rotation, no starting over every year.

Embedded, not on call

Dedicated pods aligned to your programme - not a shared ticketing queue.

1. How we transition into support

Before we take over any live environment, we conduct an operational readiness review — examining existing support tickets, incident logs, maintenance history, and recurring issues across all in-scope applications. We identify patterns, document outstanding risks, and ensure the team has a complete picture before the first ticket lands. No issue should surprise us on day one.

2. How the team is structured

Every engagement is supported by a dedicated pod — not a shared support queue. A project manager coordinates delivery and client communication. Cloud architects and DevOps engineers maintain infrastructure and deployment pipelines. Platform specialists provide hands-on coverage across Drupal, WordPress, and Directus environments.

The team is sized to the engagement and remains stable. The people who know your platform are always the ones responding to it.

3. How ongoing engagement works

Support isn't passive. We run structured backlog grooming and prioritization sessions with your team to ensure enhancements, fixes, and improvements are sequenced in line with business priorities. Weekly status touchpoints keep delivery transparent and surface emerging risks early. Monthly leadership reviews provide programme-level visibility covering performance, outstanding items, and forward planning.

4. How we handle incidents

Incidents are classified by severity and routed through defined escalation paths established during onboarding. Response is SLA-based. After-hours deployment windows are coordinated in advance for changes that cannot happen during business hours. Security patches and vulnerability remediations are applied on timelines aligned to your standards — not ours.

We have done this at scale

Portfolio consolidation at 72 sites. Multi-brand DXP foundations for global enterprises. Regulated public-sector environments where operational continuity is non-negotiable. This is not a new service line — it is how we have worked for 20 years.

industry: global asset management

72 subsidiaries → one governed platform

Consolidated 72 subsidiary websites from independent CMS platforms, hosting providers, and support models into a centralized foundation with shared experience patterns and reusable components. Each subsidiary retained its own brand expression. The operational overhead to maintain and evolve the portfolio dropped significantly. This is what reduced platform complexity at scale actually looks like.

industry: automotive

Multiple brands. One shared foundation.

Multi-brand, multi-theme experience foundation shared across dozens of websites and customer-facing experiences. Multiple distinct brands evolve efficiently on a common platform while preserving brand independence. The same shared component library accelerates delivery across every property in the ecosystem.

industry: electronics

Multiple microsites → unified CMS

Multiple public-facing websites and microsites consolidated into a single customer experience supported by a unified CMS, shared design patterns,and reusable components — enabling more consistent and faster ongoing delivery.

industry: data management & elections

Phase-based Azure consolidation

Migration of a mission-critical elections platform from a legacy data centre to Azure, with ongoing modernization and managed services. Phase-based consolidation approach — stabilize the foundation first, then modernize incrementally — directly mirrors what Assembly brings to every consolidation engagement.
