However, the development process doesn&#8217;t stop after launch. Software requires ongoing maintenance and support to ensure it remains secure, bug-free, and adapts to evolving user needs. But for resource-constrained startups and SMBs, building and maintaining an in-house support team can be a major drain on time, finances, and talent acquisition.
