Your project is on fire?
We put it out.
Stuck development, spaghetti code, vendor that disappeared, system that crashes every week? We've seen it all. Our senior engineers stabilize failing projects, eliminate technical debt, and get your software back on track.
Why IT projects end up in crisis
We've rescued dozens of projects. These are the patterns we see over and over.
Cheapest Vendor Trap
You chose the lowest bidder. They delivered something that "works" but is impossible to maintain or extend. Now you're paying 3x in fixes.
Key Person Dependency
One developer knew everything. They left. Nobody understands the codebase now. Documentation doesn't exist.
Accumulated Tech Debt
"We'll refactor later" - but later never came. Now every feature takes 5x longer and introduces new bugs.
Scope Creep Disaster
The project grew organically without architectural planning. Now it's a tangled mess of dependencies.
No Testing Culture
Zero automated tests. Manual QA can't keep up. Every deployment is a gamble. Production incidents are weekly events.
Outdated Technology
Framework is 10 years old. Libraries have security vulnerabilities. You can't hire developers willing to work with it.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. 70% of IT projects face these issues.

07 Frequently Asked Questions
What is software rescue and when is it needed?
Software rescue is the process of recovering failing or underperforming IT projects. Common triggers: project significantly over budget or behind schedule, critical performance issues in production, vendor relationship breakdown, team unable to deliver features, technical debt making changes impossible. ARDURA Consulting has rescued 40+ projects across industries, with an average recovery time of 3-6 months.
How does ARDURA Consulting's software rescue process work?
Our proven 4-phase approach: Phase 1 — Technical Audit (1-2 weeks): Code review, architecture assessment, performance profiling, risk identification. Phase 2 — Stabilization (2-4 weeks): Fix critical bugs, improve deployment, establish monitoring. Phase 3 — Recovery (2-4 months): Reduce technical debt, refactor key components, improve test coverage. Phase 4 — Optimization: Performance tuning, scaling, and knowledge transfer to your team.
How much does software rescue cost?
Costs depend on project complexity: Initial audit: €5,000-15,000 (1-2 weeks). Stabilization phase: €15,000-40,000 (2-4 weeks). Full recovery: €40,000-150,000 (2-6 months). ROI is typically 5-10x — the alternative is complete project failure or starting from scratch (which costs 3-5x more than rescue). ARDURA Consulting provides a detailed cost estimate after the initial audit.
What are the signs my software project is failing?
Key warning signs: 1) Deployment frequency has decreased significantly. 2) Bug count is growing faster than fixes. 3) Simple features take weeks to implement. 4) Team morale is declining, key developers leaving. 5) Performance degrades with each release. 6) No test coverage or CI/CD pipeline. 7) Documentation is outdated or missing. 8) Vendor lock-in preventing changes. If you recognize 3+ signs, contact ARDURA Consulting for a free initial assessment.
Can you take over a project from another vendor?
Yes, vendor transition is a core part of our rescue services. We handle: 1) Code and documentation takeover with full audit. 2) Knowledge transfer from the outgoing team. 3) Infrastructure migration if needed. 4) Team scaling — we bring our own developers to maintain velocity. 5) Legal support for contract transition. We've successfully completed 20+ vendor transitions with zero downtime.
What technologies can you rescue projects in?
ARDURA Consulting rescues projects across the full technology spectrum: Java/Spring, .NET/C#, Python/Django, Node.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, mobile (iOS/Android), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). We also handle legacy system modernization — migrating from monolith to microservices, upgrading frameworks, or re-platforming to cloud. Our 500+ developer pool ensures we have expertise in any stack.
