How we work
We use a proven, time-tested, 10
step, method to make sure your system is what you need, on-time and within
the original budget.
- Project needs are well defined
by client. This will include 2-3 rounds of verification by us in complex
projects. (Normally at least 50% of time used to finish the project)
- Quote based on project needs:
Includes time frames, exact costs, delivery terms and additional options
- Alpha released to client showing
example screens, reports and all interfaces (nonfunctional)
- Beta released to client for preview
(functional)
- First round of changes
- Beta 2 released to client for
preview (fully functional)
- Final round of changes
- Final version released
- Minor modifications permitted
(no new processes, data fields, screens or reports)
- Final documentation delivered
with source code
You only pay after step ten. We allow
15 days for final verification and 15 days to process the payment for a
total of 30 days. Full online technical support is included during this
time.
100% client satisfaction, delivery
on-time with no payment for services until project completion.
Pricing
All jobs are priced based on the
following criteria:
- How well-defined is the project?
- Complete analysis of project needs
available?
- Multiple or single user?
- Single or remote physical locations?
- Overall complexity
- Number of Tables, Querys, Forms,
Reports and Web pages
- Predicted final size of the database
in gigabytes
- Needs for documentation, help
files, and online user training
In other words, if you are a developer
with a good understanding of your needs, the price will be lower.
If you're not a 'Computer Person',
don't worry. We have the tools to help you design your project. Download
the Project Planning
Worksheet. This document will take you step-by-step over the non-technical
process of defining your needs. This document turns into the blueprint for
your new system, so take your time and describe your needs as clearly and
inclusively as you can. The better the blueprint, the better the final product.
This step is called 'Systems Analysis' and normally is 30% to 40% of the
final cost when completed by outside consultants (another secret to our
low cost). But even thought consultants produce the final analysis, you
must spend many hours describing yours needs to them. So save some money
and do it yourself! Keep in mind this task is not technical in nature and
is better described in your terms, not those of a programmer. Full instructions
are included.
