Software maintenance and support
What we can build for you
Bug fixes
We find and fix what breaks, and tell you what caused it.
Updates and security
We keep the system, its dependencies and its servers updated and patched.
Monitoring
We watch for errors and downtime so problems get caught early.
Backups
Regular backups of your data, tested so you can restore them when you need to.
Small improvements
New reports, fields, screens and tweaks your team asks for along the way.
Take over existing software
We take over systems another vendor built, learn the code and keep them going.
Why Ciguabit
A technical partner, not just a vendor
A software company registered in the Dominican Republic, working with businesses across the Americas and Europe.
You own everything
Source code, infrastructure accounts and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hostage situations.
Senior engineering
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. Nothing gets handed down to a junior bench.
Bilingual delivery
We work in Spanish and English, across Dominican and North American time zones, with documentation in both.
We answer after launch
Support and maintenance are part of the agreement, not an extra cost you discover when something breaks.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take over software another company built?
Yes. We review the code and document how it works, make sure the code and accounts are in your name, and then take over fixes and updates.
What if there is no documentation?
That is common. We read the code, talk with the people who use the system and write the documentation as we go.
Do you only fix bugs, or also add features?
Both. Besides fixes and updates, we add the small improvements your team needs, and we plan bigger changes with you when the time comes.
