WhatsAppSoftware Maintenance Services in the UAE: what is included
Shyphan provides software maintenance services in the UAE for custom web platforms, portals and mobile apps, including ones built by other companies.
We take over others' code
Many clients come to us when the original developer or agency has gone. We audit the code, recover access to domains, hosting and app stores, and document everything before agreeing SLA terms, so you know exactly what you are getting.
Bug fixing under an SLA
Issues are logged in a ticket system, graded by severity and answered within agreed response times. Critical faults affecting sales, payments or payroll are worked on first, with fixes tested on staging before release.
Security and dependency updates
Frameworks, libraries, operating systems and databases reach end of life. We apply security patches monthly, upgrade dependencies in planned releases and renew certificates, so the application does not quietly become a vulnerability.
Monitoring and tested backups
Uptime checks, error tracking in Sentry and performance dashboards alert us before users call. Backups are tested with actual restores rather than assumed to work, and the results appear in the monthly report.
Small enhancements included
Maintenance plans can include a monthly allowance of development hours for small changes, such as a new report, an extra field on a form or a revised VAT invoice layout, without opening a new project.
App store upkeep
For mobile apps we handle yearly iOS and Android SDK updates, App Store and Google Play policy changes and certificate renewals, so the app is not pulled from the stores for missing a deadline.
The systems it plugs into
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
Executive KPI dashboard in Zoho Analytics
Leads, conversions, revenue, expenses, profit, tickets and satisfaction on one board, drawn from Zoho CRM, Expense and Desk. Your software reads from and writes back to screens like this one, so nothing is re-keyed.
- We take over others' code
- Bug fixing under an SLA
- Security and dependency updates
Sales dashboard in Odoo
Quotations, orders, revenue and average order value with the monthly trend, built from live Odoo data. The same software connects to Odoo in exactly the same way.
- Monitoring and tested backups
- UAE working week
- Regulatory changes handled
What changes in the UAE
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
UAE working week
Support hours follow the UAE Monday-to-Friday working week, with an emergency line for critical issues outside those hours when the SLA includes it, instead of waiting for another time zone to wake up.
Regulatory changes handled
Corporate Tax, VAT clarifications and the e-invoicing rollout under Ministerial Decisions 243 and 244 of 2025 all touch billing software. We plan these changes into maintenance; check the Ministry of Finance for the latest dates.
Remote support nationwide
Support runs remotely from our RAK Free Trade Zone office for clients across the seven emirates, with on-site visits in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah for incidents or reviews that need them.
How we deliver software maintenance services
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Takeover audit
We review code, hosting, access, backups and open issues, then report the risks and agree an SLA with a fixed monthly fee in AED.
Stabilise
Access is consolidated, backups verified, monitoring and error tracking installed, and urgent security patches applied before any new work starts.
Document
We write the missing set-up, deployment and architecture notes so knowledge sits in your repository, not in one developer's head.
Run the SLA
Tickets are triaged by severity, fixed within agreed response times, tested on staging and released with notes, plus a monthly report of work done.
Plan ahead
Each quarter we review dependencies, hosting costs and upcoming end-of-life dates, and recommend improvements before they become emergencies.
When software maintenance services is the wrong answer
Maintenance cannot make badly built software good; it keeps it running. If a system needs weekly emergency fixes, runs on unsupported frameworks or blocks new requirements, paying for maintenance is throwing money after a problem. In that case we will show you the numbers and suggest a phased modernization or a move to a packaged platform.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom software, so our written recommendation can point you to a simpler option, or to doing nothing yet.
A UAE team you can meet in person
That is our team at Zoholics Dubai 2026. We deliver Zoho, Odoo, Dynamics 365 and custom projects from our Ras Al Khaimah office with remote delivery across all seven emirates, in English and Arabic, and we run workshops on site in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah when a project needs it.
