Option 2

Self-Managed

Run the system with your own team. Full documentation, training, and admin guides delivered during the Sprint. We remain available for paid support.

Ready to automate another operations area? We scope a new engagement.

You own the system. The path after Sprint is yours to choose — no lock-in.
