Our rates are an integral part of
our overall value proposition and philosophy.
We price our services at an average discount of 20-40% of the
current market rates from the large consulting and services companies.
We then provide you with superior resources, superior approach,
and superior execution so that your investment could be returned
to you within one year of go-live!
We are very confident in our ability to understand
your business needs, and present you with a solution, timeframe
and reasonable price to deliver your solution. We support multiple
engagement and invoicing approaches to best meet your budget and
need. We support incremental staffing engagements, fixed bid,
less than full time staffing, retainer-based, performance-based,
and full-time FTE T&E.
Incremental Staffing: Typically
in a sub-contract capacity where we are sub to a prime vendor
on a large engagement. These engagements typically run three months
to a year for one or more consultants.
Fixed Bid:
Typically for an entire project beginning with
needs assessment and solution design through delivery. Where we
have the ability to control the staffing and execute the plan,
we have confidence in our ability to successfully fix bid a project.
Less than Full time:
You may need a consultant
for only 50 hours to perform a requirements and needs assessment.
You may need a part-time engagement manager to support your ERP
implementation. Either way, we are glad to support your project
needs.
Retainer:
When you need a seasoned consultant to be flexible and available
for roughly a certain percentage of full time, you may be interested
in our retainer-based service. Do you need roughly 25% of an engagement
manager? If you need to fix your monthly expenditure on consulting,
but need flexibility for your engagement, ask us about a retainer-based
fee structure.
Performance:
Is delivering on-time and on-budget something that you would be
interested in? Let us know and we would be glad to discuss how
we can meet your deadline.
Full-Time FTE T&E:
This is the most traditional
approach. Full-time consultants committed to your project, invoiced
for time worked with a target of a 40-hour week. We will work
with you if at all possible to find you local resources, or work
remotely when possible to reduce expenses, but will gladly put
the right resources at your location to successfully deliver your
project.
