Continuity means ensuring your software runs without interruption, even if a vendor loses the ability to maintain services. It allows you to retain the credentials, permissions, and payment control needed to keep systems active, regardless of provider limitations. ## Why you need to be ready for continuity 74% Of SaaS outages are caused by vendor failures, not customer actions. $300K/hr The hourly cost of downtime for mid-market and enterprise SaaS-dependent teams. 65% Of SaaS environments require at least one active billing/admin role to avoid suspension. 27% Of software incidents stem from expired accounts, missing billing roles, or lapsed renewals. With downtime costs rising and SaaS dependencies increasing, continuity has become essential to preventing unexpected operational failures. ## How continuity works Continuity follows a structured process that ensures you have the details, access, and clarity required to keep your software live. ### Step 1: Upload service details Provide the information that Codekeeper needs to protect your software from payment-related outages. Administrative and billing credentials for essential accounts Platform configuration details and renewal parameters Instructions required to maintain continuity ![upload_details](https://codekeeper.co/hubfs/_sized/Codekeeper%202025/upload_details-768x576.webp) ![ck_takes_over](https://codekeeper.co/hubfs/_sized/Codekeeper%202025/ck_takes_over-768x576.webp) ### Step 2: Codekeeper takes over payments If a continuity event occurs, Codekeeper steps in to keep your services funded and active. Clear triggers define when continuity actions begin All credentials and permissions are verified for accuracy Payments, renewals, and subscriptions continue seamlessly ### Step 3: Systems stay online Your services remain fully operational while Codekeeper maintains control of access and payments until stability returns.
