Understand Your Software Before Changing Development Vendors
Before changing a development partner, establish what your company controls, how the system operates, and which dependencies need attention. Gridfused provides an independent view to support a more informed transition.
What needs to be understood before the change
A product can work well and still depend on knowledge, accounts, or operating steps that have not yet been transferred.
Where the code, infrastructure, and documentation are held.
Who controls the relevant accounts and access.
How the product is deployed and operated.
Which integrations and services are essential.
Where knowledge or decisions depend on the current supplier.
How the assessment is conducted
We review the information and access made available, analyze relevant dependencies, and speak with responsible people when possible. Missing or unverified information is recorded as such.
Questions for the handover
The review can examine whether an authorized person can carry out essential work under the conditions the company expects to retain.
Can an authorized person access and operate the system?
Does the documentation support essential tasks in practice?
Can the company deploy, diagnose, and recover the product?
Which decisions and responsibilities must move to a new owner?
What you receive
A map of verified dependencies and responsibilities, transition risks, information gaps, and priorities for preparation and continuity.
Boundaries of the work
A transition assessment does not presume the current vendor has done anything wrong. Its depth depends on available evidence and access. Managing the transition or implementing changes requires a separate agreement.
