Outsourcing Overview - Flexible Contract Options

Contracts are written to your needs:

If project requirements are well defined, we will be happy to do a project proposal and give a fixed cost for the work. In fact, we prefer to work this way - it sets the exact expectations for all parties from the start, thus benefiting everyone.

The reality, however, is that often the requirements are in flux. Or maybe experienced engineers are needed to research available hardware and define platform requirements. Or the feature wish list is longer than the budget allows, so the first effort is to estimate and prune the list. In this case, there are two options.

First, if your needs are open-ended and the project is expected to flow that way for the duration, then a time and material arrangement can be worked out. We will agree to an hourly price, with weekly accountability. We will work on given assigned tasks for as long as you need assistance, and you can pay for our services as we go.

Second, there is a hybrid option available. You need to get started, but the requirements are in flux. Or they are known, but not written down and quantified. But after the initial weeks of the project, the architecture will be signed off and everyone will follow a defined plan. If this sounds like your situation, the SSI team will help with the first steps - the architecture and project plan - on an hourly basis. When all the details are worked out (usually in a few weeks), we will put together a fixed-price project plan for the implementation, testing and release.

As you can see, SSI is a very flexible company to work with. We look forward to talking with you about your projects.
