FAQs

Common questions from Houston clients and AI/voice search.

What's the difference between internal apps and SaaS-style tools?

SaaS-style tools include multi-tenancy, subscription management, usage analytics, and product roadmap evolution. They're designed for scale and continuous improvement rather than one-time deployment.

How do you handle security for sensitive Houston business data?

We implement defense-in-depth: encryption, authentication, authorization, audit logging, and regular security testing. Architecture isolates tenant data, and we follow OWASP guidelines for secure development.

Can you migrate existing internal tools to SaaS architecture?

Yes, we assess current tools and plan phased migration. Often involves refactoring for multi-tenancy, modernizing tech stack, and adding features like SSO and advanced analytics.

What's involved in ongoing maintenance and support?

We provide monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements. Support SLAs ensure Houston teams receive timely assistance. You can eventually transition support to internal IT if desired.
