- Fixed Rate (aka Time-and-Materials)
- This is the best choice for contracts with indeterminate length and scope.
- When you know you need the help but for how long escapes you...
- When you are snowed under by user demands and everything was due yesterday...
- When the big-name consulting firm left you in a lurch and you don't want your project to be part of
the 70% failure rate...
- Rates begin at US $270/hr for 3 members (an avg. of $90/hr each member) on a corp-to-corp basis,
based upon contract length and complexity. No w-2's. Telecommuting rates are negotiable.
- Fixed Bid
- This is the best choice when you know exactly what you want and how much you can afford.
- When you have a good idea of what the project will take but your people are already at capacity...
- When you like to make incremental changes or test the water with pilot projects...
- When you have a fixed budget and reasonable expectations...
- Talk to us. Let's see what we can work out. We can do traditional fixed-bids, time-and-materials
with caps, and staged deliveries.
- Support Services
- This is the best choice for after hours and after-projects insurance.
- When you can't afford to keep us and you can't afford to let us go...
- When your ulcers and your high-strung managers are mutually incompatible...
- When you'd rather be safe than pinch pennies...
- We can provide fixed hourly rates or fixed per month (up to x hours) support services. Let us know what
you need. We carry cell phones and pagers only under duress.
- Tech-Testing or Technical Screenings/Interviews
- This is the best choice when "caveat emptor" and candidates-from-hell haunt your dreams - or
worse - your reality!
- When you need a code-head but don't talk techie...
- When you think finding an honest lawyer is easier than finding the right IT employee...
- When you have spent so much time looking at new faces, you don't recognize the ones you work
with anymore...
- We will provide technical screenings for your candidates by phone. Tell us what skills you are
looking for and we will evaluate the candidate's level of expertise. We can provide this service on a per candidate or monthly basis.
- On-Site Services
- This is the best option for traditional shops.
- When you have facilities and tools to spare...
- When you feel happiest counting heads and holding hands...
- When you get more out of face-to-face meetings than you ever could out of emails and
teleconferencing...
- Off-Site Services
- This is the best option when your facilities and time are limited.
When you care about the results (ends) more than you do the visibilty (means)...
When you don't want to wait for relo's and all the nonsense those entail...
When any additions to the project will have to stand with their laptops over their heads.
Ask the Experts
This is the best option when you have questions and don’t know where to turn.
When haiku = your tech specs...
When user requests are ko-ans (example: what is the sound of one hand clapping?)...
When you consider “interviewing” consultants just so you can get help with your problems...
Don’t do it! Ask us. Our rates are reasonable and our answers are
in-depth. And if we don’t know the answer (heresy!) we will research it for you.
