FAQs
How do you price your systems projects?
Pricing depends on the size of system, functionality and bespoking time. We always aim to give a realistic cost estimate before any work begins, and will make clear any changes to this throughout.
What if I'm not sure what I actually need?
We can help you more in the scoping and requirements definition stage, to work with you, your team or your partners to ensure clarity on what’s needed.
What if I don't have the budget for a cloud system?
If you do not feel ready to commit to a large cost, we would recommend some robust Excel models, depending on your needs. We can support in the design, implementation and maintenance of these tools.
How much time will you need from me for the project?
This depends, but most importantly we need your input during scoping to ensure we have considered everything and truly understand your needs. Then we may need you to make key decisions throughout the process as they arise.
What if my needs change during the project?
We start out with a clear scope that we ask you to sign-off. If this changes, we do our best to adapt flexibly while remaining transparent on the ramifications on timeline and budget.
We already use a system, can you make it work better for us?
Yes, we can conduct an audit on how you have configured or are using a system and give you change recommendations.
