| Our fixed time, fixed
price model offers you, our customer, a low-risk option and can be
applied when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably
clear. This model guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects.
Deliverables, costs, and timelines are clearly defined in the Fixed
Time/Fixed Price model.
Client Interaction Procedure
We tried to simplify to the maximum the client
interaction plan during the project implementation (because in a
big project a client is usually "buried" under a lot of
data that is not really necessary). However, we are able to provide
any level of in-depth project information (in cases when Systematix
implements only a part of a project, or if it is the first project
and the client wants to completely monitor our work, etc).
The client interaction during a project implementation can be sub-divided
into two phases: Pre-project Phase
and Project Implementation Phase.
- Pre-project Phase
Tell us your needs and expectations. We do not expect you, our
potential customer, to present us well-defined and/or structured
requirements. Just speak out your thoughts and expectations and
it is quite enough for us to start analyzing your project. We
will analyze your information, ask some questions, offer you more
ideas and then formalize your answers in the form of project documentation.
Systemaitx specialists read the specification, forms Software
Requirement Specification (if not provided by client) and elaborate
it (discusses with a client any unclear parts and come out with
suggestions, etc.).
After finalizing the specification that is suitable for both sides,
Systematix specialists will provide the optimal technical solution
and project estimate (the required budget and timetable). Also
the project implementation plan will be created (the dates for
project implementation start and finish, the dates when intermediate
versions will be ready, etc.).
If the created project estimate and working plan were suitable
for the client, then the project implementation would be started.
- Project Implementation Phase
This phase takes 80% of a project time, and it requires the minimum
attention from a client.
Since the exact project specification exists and the project budget
and implementation plan are determined, a client will simply receive
the information on the project development.
We believe that it is convenient for a client to receive a regular
report (daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly), concerning the project
implementation. The client will also receive the intermediate
versions of the project according to the timetable approved in
the project implementation plan. If during a project implementation
phase the client desires to alter the initial specification, it
is possible but such actions would be reflected in the project
timetable / budget changes.
- Contract Payment
For a small project (takes less than 1 month) the payment is effected
after the client has received and checked the final version. If
a project is large (takes more than 1 month), then the project
is sub-divided into several phases with separate payments after
the termination of each phase. As a rule, we correct all errors
found during 60 days after a project termination free of charge.
