PROJX Digital's standard maintenance offering includes: 90-day hypercare post-go-live, SLA-based support with defined response times (2-4 hours for critical issues), monthly security patch cycles, uptime monitoring with automated alerts, and a dedicated budget in each monthly sprint for technical debt repayment — the most overlooked dimension of long-term system health.
