Software rescue & takeover

Take back control of software that is letting you down

We find out how an unstable, stalled or unsupported application works, what is putting the service at risk and what needs attention first. You get a practical route to recovery and takeover—not an automatic recommendation to start again.

Is this where you are now?

Find out what is wrong and what can be saved.

Your supplier may have stopped responding, updates may keep failing or the people who understood the system may have left. We inspect the software, hosting, data and release process to work out what is safe to keep and what needs urgent attention.

For live or partly built software that is unreliable, undocumented, stalled or no longer adequately supported. The initial assessment determines whether Artemis can take responsibility safely.

What you receive

A clear route to recovery and takeover.

We agree the scope around your system and the people who use it. Your project can include:

Deliverable 01

A current-state assessment covering the application, environments, dependencies and available documentation

Deliverable 02

A prioritised record of operational, security and delivery risks

Deliverable 03

A stabilisation and takeover plan showing what to retain, repair or replace

Deliverable 04

Recovered operating knowledge, deployment information and an agreed route into support or modernisation

How we work

Understand the system. Stabilise it. Plan what comes next.

  1. 01

    Gather the knowledge

    Secure appropriate access and collect the available code, system and operating information.

  2. 02

    Assess the risks

    Reproduce the application and review its dependencies, releases, data and immediate failure risks.

  3. 03

    Stabilise the system

    Stabilise urgent issues where agreed and document the viable takeover options.

  4. 04

    Agree ongoing ownership

    Agree the next stage: managed support, focused remediation or phased modernisation.
