NOTE: Currently we are available OFF SITE and FRQ ONLY

Following is an explanation of various options. Note: If you think your contractor is a real software company and not just a staffer ask them to do a FRQ.

There are several contract options available to you. There is Off site where programming is done away from your site, On Site where all programming is done on your site, FRQ -- fixed rate quotes where you supply a functional specification and the company quotes the project or part of the project. Some times there is a mix of on site and off site services available. Other services that are not just programming these are project management, and technical documentation of functional specifications. Following are brief explanations of these services and some ideas for you to consider.

How does Off site work?: We have our own equipment consisting of servers and workstations that we use. Code is written then either emailed, FTP'd, VPN (Virtual Private Networked) or Laplinked to your site as necessary.

Is there any savings for Off Site tele-commuting?: Significant saving up to 50% can be realized -- we don't have the transportation costs and other time consuming interruptions that cause "daylight being burned" we pass that savings on to you the customer

Do you have a sample contract?: Yes Click "Contract" button on the left.

What about Fixed Rate Quotes?: Some and most consulting companies will not even touch Fixed Rate Quote (FRQ) we will if you fully provide the scope of our involvement, functional specifications and project plan to us. We will then quote it.

How about the functional specification?: We will for a fee create a functional specification and project plan.
