Corel Paradox ObjectPAL Support & Maintenance Plan
With our application maintenance plan, you can leverage an existing application longer to achieve a higher return on your investment.
If you have an unmaintained application, we can help maintain it. For a monthly fee you get a dedicated developer, version control, ongoing documentation, our PSDP process, and included time. When you have app changes, we use up your included time first then bill with a lower rate. When there are no app changes, we spend the time learning your code base, documenting your system, and cross training.
- Setup from simple single user, multi-user using Net Files, to terminal server management.
- Lock File Cleanup help removing lock files when needed.
- ObjectPAL Coding including advanced coding needs.
- Feature enhancements including adding new tracking fields, searches, etc.
- Reporting maintenance including adding new reports and changing existing reports.
- Dedicated Developer who learns your codebase, your processes, your culture, and becomes a valuable asset to your company.
- Included Time is used for completing tasks, learning your code base, documentation, and cross training.
- Maintained Dev Environment ready for work when you need us to research something or code.
- Maintained Version Control is a best practice in the industry and allows us to rollback to previous versions.
- Documentation of your application within our online ticket system for which you have access.
- Process is important for a successful coding effort. We use our Prestwood Software Development Process (PSDP) which is integrated with our online ticket system.

Codebase Knowledge + Documentation Available
Documentation is important. We can document your Paradox application. Including tasks such as developer-oriented documentation, code commenting, code reviews, etc. Documention allows us to learn the features and codebase well and keeps us sharp. A developer can learn your code base either by performing work, or by study and documentation. Our preferred approach is is a balance between the two.
Proper documentation gives us the opportunity to implement best practices which save you time and money. This approach is still a light development process, but we do more of the minimums.
