Everything in place. All the time.

Software maintenance is essential for the long-term performance and efficiency of any application. It ensures that software remains reliable, secure, and user-friendly while adapting to new requirements and technologies. Regular maintenance should cover bug fixing, adaptive updates (such as compatibility with new operating systems or browsers), enhancements, preventive actions, and ongoing updates to technical documentation.

Without maintenance, technical debt can accumulate, risking software quality, development speed, user experience, flexibility, and long-term strategic goals.
