Custom Solutions: How do you avoid lock-in after handover?

Specify administrator access, usable exports, source ownership, deployment instructions, logs and backups. Agree who maintains the system and how changes are requested. An exit plan should leave the business with usable data, rather than only a database file that nobody has demonstrated how to interpret.

Hypothetical example

Put the decision in context.

A system exports a file that staff cannot use. Demonstrate the agreed usable export before calling the exit plan complete.

Take these points into your brief.

Use this checklist to record what is agreed and what still needs confirmation.

  1. Access and ownership
  2. Usable exports and documentation
  3. Maintenance and exit procedure

For each item, keep the requirement, the supporting file or observation, and the person responsible for confirming it together.

Care, changes and ownership: your next step

Keep the final specification, supplier references and agreed responsibilities in an accessible handover record. Review the actual condition or operating problem before ordering a replacement or approving a change. If a component, location or requirement differs from the original, have that difference assessed. Retain dated changes so the next person responsible can understand the current state.
