We understand that every software project has its own specialties. Different types
of web development projects require different business models. Our business models
have been formulated keeping "flexibility of operation" in mind. Depending on your
business needs and financial directions, you can choose any business model that
suits perfectly for your web development project.

|
Time and Material Model
In this model, we offer to execute a software project with a variable cost depending
on the efforts spent and other resources consumed, such as purchase of any 3rd party
software or project specific hardware (other than computer systems). This type of
model is most suitable for projects which are not very clearly defined, and are
likely to follow the 'Evolutionary' or 'Spiral' development model. You are billed
as per the actual amount of efforts spent on design, development, programming, setup
& configuration of the web based software project. The development life cycle
is controlled by your inputs and direction. There are no hidden charges or any other
additional costs involved. This provides you complete independence and flexibility
to get the project developed end-to-end as per your budget provisions. Before any
such project begins, we provide you the effort estimates, project timeline, material/resource
estimates and other vital figures to help you decide on financials.

Hourly, Weekly or Monthly Charges Model
This business model is most suitable for maintenance and support projects. Services
may include server maintenance, database maintenance, backup or restore and crash
recovery, bug fixing and changes or enhancements. Such projects are billed on hourly
basis depending on actual hours spent. We also operate in fixed weekly or monthly
charges model where there is a commitment of a minimum number of hours of service
per payment period. Any additional hours spent are charged extra. The weekly and
monthly charges models are usually cheaper in comparison to hourly charges model.

|
Fixed Price Model
In this model, we offer to execute a software project at a fixed price. This model
is generally followed where the project specifications are clearly defined and the
software development life cycle can closely follow the waterfall model. Ideally,
the client has a well defined SRS (Software Requirement Specifications) document
and has defined all other details like technology platforms, database model, software
architecture and other required technical aspects. We undertake such projects with
a fixed price quote and deliver them in due time with best quality.
This model is best suited for small projects or for large projects when the scope,
schedules and requirements of the project are specifically defined.
The total cost and timeline of the development is agreed prior to the start of the
project. Then we select the most suitable development team and technologies and
management resources to accomplish the project as agreed. Any new features or major
changes later on are discussed and quoted separately.
As the projects specs and deliverables are clearly defined prior to the project
start, this model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects.

Turnkey Model
This model is usually suitable for medium to large sized projects where the requirements
and initial software plans and designs are already provided by the client, but the
software is planned to be developed in multiple phases. We offer to execute such
projects on turnkey basis. Each phase in the turnkey project can be based on either
a fixed or time-and-material pricing. Payment terms are framed on a per phase basis
with mutual agreement. Terms and conditions of one phase may differ from another.

Hybrid Model
Sometimes, a project may not fit into any particular model due to the nature of
the project or your special business needs. Under such circumstances, we can offer
a suitable combination of these models making it a 'hybrid model', which offers
you maximum flexibility and cost benefits. For example, part of a project can be
executed in a "Fixed Price" model and rest can be taken up in "Time and Material"
model.
