About

How we work

Morgan Collett Software is the business behind BotFlow Host and BotFlow Dev. Work is arranged either as an ongoing service or as a scoped project, with responsibilities agreed in writing before it starts.

Ongoing service

We operate the infrastructure

A continuing service with a defined boundary: you own the programme logic and content, and we own the infrastructure it runs on.

BotFlow Host

Scoped project

We deliver an agreed piece of work

Each project starts from a clear problem and an agreed scope, and finishes with a deliverable that your team can run, maintain or build on.
