Managed support

Small changes and continuous improvement

A monthly change allowance is engineering time included in a managed support contract for the improvements that would otherwise wait for a project: a new report, a form field, an integration tweak, a performance fix. Hexploits schedules the allowance against a backlog you control and reports what it delivered each month.

A named engineer replies within one working day. A written scope and an indicative price within two.

  • Businesses with a list of small improvements that never get prioritised.
  • Operations teams who need a change this month, not next quarter.
  • Companies that want their system to keep getting better without a new project each time.

Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.

  • A backlog you own, prioritised together monthly.
  • Changes delivered through the same tested pipeline as everything else.
  • A monthly report of what shipped and what the allowance was spent on.
  • Carry-over rules stated in the contract.
  • Escalation to a project when a change is too big for the allowance.

Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.

The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.

  1. Stage 1

    Prioritise

    Monthly, with your operations lead: what matters most this month.

  2. Stage 2

    Deliver

    Changes built, tested and released through the pipeline.

  3. Stage 3

    Report

    What shipped, what it cost in hours, what is next.

  4. Stage 4

    Escalate

    Anything larger is scoped and priced as a project with a written change request.

Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.

  • Changes delivered per month.
  • Time from request to release.
  • Allowance used versus available.

  • Director, Gradvisor

    Fantastic company and our development partner for Gradvisor, a social mobility careers platform with national ambitions. Extremely responsive and mission-oriented. Cameron owns any shortfalls humbly - rare for IT providers. Thinks like a client too.

    Top quality delivery, and reasonable price. Will be using again.

What counts as a small change?
Anything that fits within the monthly allowance and does not change the architecture. Larger work is scoped separately so the allowance stays available for the small things.
Does unused time roll over?
The carry-over rule is stated in the contract. Typically a limited carry-over for one month.
Who decides what gets done?
You do. We advise on effort and risk, and the backlog is yours.
