TechCover software maintenance and support services

Software maintenance is the continuous process of improving, updating, and securing your software after its initial deployment. It ensures your applications remain compatible, reliable, and aligned with your business needs.

There are four main types of software maintenance:

• Corrective Maintenance: Fixing software bugs or issues reported by users.
• Adaptive Maintenance: Updating the software to stay compatible with new hardware, operating systems, and business processes.
• Perfective Maintenance: Enhancing the software’s performance, user experience, and reliability over time.
• Preventive Maintenance: Identifying and addressing potential risks before they cause downtime or data loss.

TechCover software maintenance contracts from Atlas Copco include all the above and more - ensuring the health and availability of your software, providing user training, change management assistance, and general application support.

The lifecycle of your software does not end at product launch. Instead, it continues as an evolving process that allows the software to deliver more value through development and maintenance.

Technology changes rapidly, and software, if actively used, must be updated and maintained properly. Without regular maintenance, even high-quality software can experience performance degradation, compatibility issues, or security vulnerabilities.

Software maintenance contracts from Atlas Copco TechCover offer peace-of-mind protection by keeping your software covered for updates, compatibility, bug fixes, and optimization. They also help you gain control over your maintenance budget, eliminating unexpected costs and downtime.

By choosing Atlas Copco TechCover, you benefit from:

• Continuous updates that prevent costly production interruptions.
• Predictable annual maintenance costs and reduced IT overhead.
• Expert technical support and remote monitoring from our Software Service Experts.

Software maintenance is not a one-time event - it’s an ongoing process that protects your investment, extends the lifecycle of your applications, and guarantees maximum uptime.

TechCover uses a proactive tool called TechCover Health Check, which is the backbone of the maintenance contract. Health Check software runs next to your software product, continuously monitoring the health of your entire system - including the application, database, host, and network.

By analyzing system performance in real time, Health Check software enables proactive maintenance and early detection of potential issues. This allows Atlas Copco to automatically fix minor software problems before they impact production.
