Managed Technology
After launch, someone has to keep the system online, backed up, secure and moving forward. Our monthly plans pay for exactly that work, with support hours and response times in writing.
What is it?
Managed technology means DevLab stays responsible for your systems after they go live. The Care plan covers hosting coordination, backups, updates, monitoring and small fixes. Growth adds hours every month for improvements. Managed Technology is DevLab acting as your technology department: planning, running and developing your systems as the business grows.
- Three plans: Care, Growth and Managed Technology, each quoted for the systems it covers.
- Pays for real work — hosting, backups, monitoring, updates and stated hours — not rent.
- Support hours and response times are written into the agreement.
- Annual option: pay 10 months, get 12.
Most projects like this disappoint. Here's why ours don't.
- Rent on software you already paid for — a monthly fee with nothing behind it.
- Support by goodwill — one WhatsApp message away from a founder who's busy.
- Hosting nobody owns — the domain and server sit in a personal account.
- Fixes but no direction — the system stays alive but never improves.
- Pays for real work — hosting, backups, monitoring, updates and stated hours.
- Support hours in writing — response times you can hold us to, WhatsApp for urgent issues.
- Hosted abroad, documented — credentials in a password manager, handed over in full if you leave.
- Improvement capacity — Growth plans include hours every month to move the system forward.

Care
A monthly plan keeps it monitored, backed up, updated and improving.
Three plans, priced for the systems they cover.
Care, Growth and Managed Technology are quoted once we know which systems are involved and how many hours they need. Hosting is passed through at cost. Pay annually and get two months free. Major new modules are quoted separately.
What clients ask before they start.
No. Hosting is passed through at cost. The plan pays for the people who monitor it, back it up, update it, fix it and improve it.
