Developer supervising the maintenance of web applications and CMS to ensure their performance.

Application Management

Entrust the management of your web applications to our experts — TMA, updates, monitoring and operational continuity without interruption.

Definition & scope

What is application management?

Application management — also known as TMA (Third-Party Application Maintenance) — is an outsourcing service through which a company entrusts the management, maintenance and evolution of its business applications to a specialised provider. Unlike infrastructure management, which focuses on servers and networks, application management deals directly with the software layer: CMS, e-commerce platforms, custom applications and SaaS integrations.

For businesses, delegating this responsibility to Sooweb means having a permanent team of developers and application experts who know your environment, anticipate problems and respond quickly whenever an anomaly is detected. Your internal teams can focus on their core business without worrying about daily technical constraints.

Application management encompasses three main dimensions: operational continuity maintenance (OCM), which ensures your applications run optimally; security conditions maintenance (SCM), which protects your data and users; and minor improvements, which allow you to progressively enhance your tools without undertaking a full redesign project.

What we manage

The scope of our application management

Whatever type of application you operate, our teams have the expertise needed to handle its day-to-day management and continuous evolution.

CMS & WordPress

WordPress core, theme and plugin updates. Resolution of plugin conflicts, performance optimisation and automated backups. We also manage Drupal, Joomla and modern headless CMS platforms.

E-commerce platforms

Maintenance and supervision of your WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento or Shopify stores. Management of critical security updates, payment gateway monitoring and availability guarantees during traffic peaks.

Business applications

TMA on your custom-developed applications (Laravel, Symfony, Node.js, React, Vue.js). Bug fixes, refactoring, dependency management and continuous deployment to your production environments.

SaaS & API integrations

Supervision and maintenance of connectors between your tools: CRM, ERP, marketing solutions, third-party API gateways. Management of integration failures, regression testing and connector updates when partner APIs change.

Our process

How we manage your applications on a daily basis

Our approach to application management is based on a virtuous cycle: monitor, analyse, correct and improve. Every step is documented and tracked to give you full visibility into our interventions.

01

Continuous application monitoring

Real-time probes analyse response times, application errors (HTTP 5xx, exceptions), memory and CPU consumption of your applications. Any anomaly immediately triggers an alert to our on-call team.

02

Updates & security patches

Every update (core, plugins, dependencies) is first deployed in a staging environment and tested by our team. Once validated, it is pushed to production during a planned maintenance window to avoid any service interruption.

03

Bug resolution & corrective fixes

As soon as a bug is reported or detected by our tools, it is assessed (severity, user impact) and assigned to a developer. You are kept informed at every stage via our client portal and receive a detailed resolution report.

04

Performance optimisation & tuning

Regular analysis of Core Web Vitals, SQL query optimisation, application caching (Redis, Varnish, CDN) and asset compression. Our performance tuning interventions improve the user experience and your organic search ranking.

05

Monthly reporting & service review

A monthly report summarises all interventions carried out, the observed availability rate, incidents handled and improvement recommendations. A service review meeting is organised at your request to align the application roadmap.
