Protect your investment

Scenario 1a - You have ZERO documentation

Perhaps your key developers have left town (returned to UK, USA), or you have suffered a major hard disk crash. The end result - you have ZERO design and deployment documentations. Your current team may be reluctant or will take a while to reengineer these documentations. With ZERO documentation, you may lose out further business because you may no longer (dare) to offer support or modify your product. If you are in this situation, we can help you reengineer your design documents (Business Requirements, Functional Specification, Technical Design or even deployment procedures) and/or mentor your maintenance team.

Scenario 1b - Age

When age is catching up with your flagship product, or when you need to commercialise your inhouse product, Soft-Trek can help.

We will work with your engineers¹ to refactor your existing system; thus giving immediate benefit to your existing product and add value to your existing product. By refactoring your product, you can extend the life of your current legacy product
