Rescue or take over

Software project rescue in New Zealand

When a software project stalls, we step in and get it delivered

Stalled? We take it from here

We rescue stalled projects and get them delivered.

Most failed software projects don't fail on the technology; they fail on the team. When a build stalls, blows the budget or loses stakeholder confidence, Putti steps in: we assess honestly, stabilise what's there, and get it across the line.

How a rescue works

No restart from scratch unless we truly have to. We assess quickly, stabilise what's there, and get things moving again.

  • Honest assessment

    We audit the code, architecture and delivery, and tell you plainly what's salvageable and what isn't.

  • Stabilise fast

    We stop the bleeding: fix the critical issues, secure the system and restore a working baseline.

  • Delivered, for real

    A realistic path to done, taken the rest of the way by our senior team, with the transparency the last one lacked.

Frequently asked questions

  • What are the signs my software project needs rescuing?

    Deadlines keep slipping, the budget has blown out, quality is going backwards, nobody can explain the state of the code, or you have lost confidence in the team. The earlier you act, the cheaper the fix.

  • How much does a rescue cost versus starting over?

    Rescuing is usually cheaper, because you keep the parts that already work, but only when enough of the foundation is salvageable. A short assessment gives you the honest answer before you commit.

  • Can you take over when the original developer has disappeared?

    Yes. We audit what exists, secure your code and accounts, fix what is broken and finish it. Most rescues run about 4 to 12 weeks.
