Managed services

Managed IT services for software and AI. Launch is day one.

Engineers who know your code run your applications, data, cloud and AI in production. Alerts reach a person before your customers notice, every change is tested before it ships, and every month ends in a report you keep.

What we run

Applications, data, cloud and AI. Run as one system.

Managed IT services are the ongoing running of your systems by an outside engineering partner: monitoring, incident response, maintenance and improvement under one agreement, with response times in the contract. Ours are application managed services for software and AI. Pick a layer to see what we watch, what we keep current and what we do when it breaks.

Application support and maintenance

Web, mobile and backend systems, kept fast and correct

Engineers who read your code fix the bugs, upgrade the frameworks and dependencies, tune the slow paths and ship small enhancements. Every change is reviewed, tested and released behind a canary.

p95 latency

We watch

  • Latency, errors and traffic on every endpoint
  • Release health, with rollback when a canary fails
  • Queues and background jobs
  • The front-end errors your users actually see

We keep current

  • WeeklyDependency and security updates
  • Each releaseCanary first, then everyone
  • MonthlyThe slowest paths, profiled and tuned
  • QuarterlyFramework and runtime upgrades

When it breaks

  1. Roll back the release, or switch the feature off
  2. Fix the cause, with a test that proves it
  3. Write it up and change the runbook

Incident response

An incident, minute by minute.

In a 2025 survey, 41% of IT leaders said they still learn of outages from customer complaints or manual checks. Here the alert reaches an engineer first, and every incident ends in a fix, a review and a change that stops it coming back.

AI operations

AI that stays right after the model changes.

Providers can retire the model under your product with as little as 60 days’ notice. Questions shift, answers drift and costs creep. Our LLMOps and AgentOps practice keeps quality, cost and behavior on target, and grades every change on your own cases before a customer sees it.

  • qualityAnswer quality, graded on a sample of live traffic
  • groundingAnswers traced to their sources, unsupported claims flagged
  • driftShifts in what users ask and what the model returns
  • cost.taskCost per task against its budget, by model and feature
  • latencyTime to first token and to a finished answer
  • guardrailsPrompt-injection attempts and guardrail blocks
  • actions.heldAgent actions held for approval, and what happened next
  • retirementsEvery model's retirement date, tracked against yours

Governance

Every month in writing. Every file in your repository.

The report shows the work being done. The repository keeps it yours: service levels, alerts, runbooks, evaluation suites and every review, from the first day, so handing it back is a walkthrough with nothing to rebuild.

What leaders ask before they hand over the keys.

The service

What are managed IT services?

Managed IT services are the ongoing running of your systems by an outside partner: monitoring, incident response, maintenance, security upkeep and improvement, under one agreement with response times written into the contract. DigyAi provides them for the software layer: applications and APIs, data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and AI models and agents in production.

What is application managed services (AMS)?

Application managed services, also called application management services, are the support, maintenance and improvement of business applications by an engineering partner after launch. The partner fixes defects, keeps frameworks and dependencies current, answers incidents by severity, ships small enhancements and reports every month. Larger new work is scoped as its own phase.

What is included in your managed services?

Monitoring against service levels, on-call incident response in the hours your contract sets, bug fixes and small changes, dependency and security updates, backups proven by restore drills, access reviews, cost reviews, evaluation and model upkeep for any AI, and a report every month. The contract names each system covered and the response time for each severity.

Do you provide L1, L2 and L3 support?

We provide L2 and L3: the engineers who diagnose and fix the application, the data, the infrastructure and the AI. First-line support usually stays with your service desk, which escalates to us through your ticketing system. Where there is no service desk, alerts and user reports come to our engineers directly.

What is the difference between application support and maintenance?

Support answers what happens today: alerts reach a person, incidents are handled by severity and users get answers. Maintenance prevents the next incident: dependency and security updates, framework upgrades, small fixes, performance tuning and restore drills. Both sit inside the same monthly agreement and the same report.

What is LLMOps, and what do AI managed services cover?

LLMOps is the practice of running large language model applications in production. Ours covers evaluation suites run on every prompt, model or retrieval change, quality graded on live traffic, drift and cost per task watched against budgets, guardrail and prompt-injection monitoring, and model migrations planned before a provider retires the model you use. For agents it adds action tracing, approval queues and spend caps.

What is SRE as a service?

Site reliability engineering as a service runs your production systems to agreed service level objectives. Each service has an objective and an error budget, alerts fire on how fast that budget burns, incidents end in blameless reviews, and repeated manual work is automated away. When a budget runs low, reliability work takes priority over new features until it recovers.

Control and risk

What response times and SLAs do you commit to?

Response and update times are set per severity in your contract, agreed at onboarding for each system and the hours it needs covering. Service level objectives for the systems themselves are written into the operations repository, measured continuously and reported every month. Systems that cannot wait until morning get an out-of-hours rotation, staffed for that system before cover starts.

What access do your engineers need to our production systems?

The least that each task needs, granted through your own identity provider. Routine work runs through pipelines and read-only dashboards; elevated access is requested just in time, approved, time-limited and logged, with a break-glass route for emergencies. Access is reviewed every month, and removing it at handback is one step in HANDBACK.md.

Can you keep us compliant with SOC 2, ISO 27001 or DORA?

We run the controls and collect the evidence as the work happens: patch records, access reviews, change approvals, incident reviews and restore drills, filed in your repository for your auditors. For firms under DORA, the contract includes the exit terms and transition support the regulation requires, and HANDBACK.md is the tested exit plan.

What happens when an AI provider retires a model we use?

We migrate before the deadline. Every model in production has its retirement date tracked; when a notice arrives, candidate models are graded against your own cases on quality, grounding, latency and cost, run in shadow on live traffic, then released behind a canary with a one-line rollback. Your AI owner approves the switch.

Working with DigyAi

Can you take over a system you did not build?

Yes, after an audit of one to two weeks. We read the code, infrastructure, alerts and incident history, write down the risks and say what must be fixed before cover can start. Then we shadow your team or current provider, run it while they check our work, and take over when the runbooks are signed off.

Managed services, staff augmentation or an in-house team?

Choose by who owns the outcome. With staff augmentation you rent engineers and manage the work yourself; an in-house team gives you full control at the cost of hiring for every skill and every rotation. Managed services make us accountable for agreed service levels across application, data, cloud and AI, while your own engineers stay on the product.

How much do managed IT services cost?

Four things set the cost: how many systems we cover and how complex they are, the hours of cover each one needs, the response times per severity, and how much improvement work you want each month beyond keeping things running. The audit turns those into a written proposal, and each phase is approved before it starts.

What does the monthly report contain?

Service levels met and missed, the error budget left for each service, every incident with its review, changes shipped and any rolled back, security updates and open findings, AI quality and model changes, running cost against the month before, and what we recommend next. It is filed in your repository as well as sent.

Can we leave, and what do we keep?

Yes. After the first term the service runs month to month with no exit fee. Everything we operate already lives in your environment and repositories: service levels, alert rules, runbooks, dashboards, evaluation suites and every review and report. At handback we walk your team or your next provider through it and remove our access.
