Your Safety Net For Change

(Why a Secondary Site Matters)

Imagine renovating your kitchen while the family is still trying to cook dinner in it. That’s what it’s like building or updating your Contracts 365 application without a dev site.

A dedicated development site (often called a “dev site,” “development environment,” or Secondary Site at Contracts 365) gives your team a safe, isolated place to configure, test, and refine changes before anything reaches production. It’s a practical way to evolve workflows with confidence—without disrupting day-to-day contracting.

1. Experiment without risk to production

New workflows, configuration updates, and process improvements are easier to explore when you’re not working directly in your live environment. A development site gives you room to test what’s possible while keeping production protected.

2. Ship changes faster, with fewer surprises

Validating changes in a dev environment helps you catch issues early, confirm requirements, and reduce last-minute fire drills. The result is smoother releases and a more predictable path from “idea” to “ready.”

3. Keep your live experience clean and consistent

Your production site is a business-critical system. It should stay reliable, polished, and aligned to your internal governance standards. A development site keeps “in progress” work where it belongs—off the live system your users depend on.

4. Make collaboration simpler across teams

When admins, IT, and stakeholders can review the same changes in a controlled environment, alignment gets easier. Teams can test together, document decisions, and move forward with clarity.

5. Support compliance, integrity, and peace of mind

For organizations focused on security and governance—especially those aligning to standards like ISO and SOC—separating development activity from production is a smart baseline. A dedicated dev environment helps preserve system integrity while reducing risk and service impact.
