Overview
Keeping your technology competitive and cost-efficient.
With the increasing pace of technology advancements, product lifecycles have shortened as a result. While these mature products no longer require constant innovation, they may still play a critical role in business operations. Hence to ensure the stability and reliability of such products, they need ongoing support and maintenance efforts.
Sustenance engineering aims to prolong the life of mature products, ensuring they continue to deliver value and meet evolving market demands without the need for full-scale redesign or replacement.
Sustenance is a Value-Addition over Maintenance.
From a business standpoint, sustenance aims to maintain profitability while retaining customers. It focuses on cost reduction over cost control. Some business metrics commonly associated with product sustenance are:
From a product engineering perspective, sustenance aims to apply new-age techniques such as machine learning, SAFe Agile, and DevOps to rejuvenate aging products. It aims to ensure optimal performance, security, and adherence to compliances for established product lines.
Sustenance engineering covers a broad spectrum of service areas, building upon maintenance to account for EOL support, revisiting product design and optimization to extend the product lifecycle, and finally automating the right aspects, including testing efforts.
