Flexible Software Development Pricing Models

Flexible Software Development Pricing Models

At Seanergy we believe in giving you a choice of pricing models for your software development project and we will also advise you which of these best suits your requirements so that you get the best deal possible. It is important to us that you are happy with the financial arrangement. Our main aim is for you to become long term clients so quality, value for money and customer satisfaction are crucial.

Fixed Price Model

This model delivers projects to a fixed schedule at a set price. We really mean it when we say that we deliver on time and on budget – after the initial requirements gathering stage of the project where we clearly define milestones and final deliverables we will set a price for the work and that will not change unless you change the requirements. If requirements do change in the course of development we will be sure to tell you what effect this will have on the price before we make any changes to the specification.

A fixed price model is best suited to a project that is well defined and has clear boundaries. The price will vary depending on the number of software experts the project requires and where you want those resources. We can place a team in your office or the development can take place in our offshore development centre. It is becoming increasingly popular to mix these strategies and have a project manager onsite who is backed up by an offshore development team. The daily face to face contact solves one of the biggest problems with outsourcing software development – communication.

Benefits of a Fixed Price Model

• Reduced risk through a guaranteed cost and concrete deadlines
• More control in scheduling your business goals
• Assured budget control

Retainer Price Model

This model suits those clients with ongoing development requirements. Seanergy organises and trains a dedicated team based on the requirements gathered in initial meetings. The team can work out of our offshore development centre as your sole technology provider or in tandem with your in-house development team. Alternatively you can use one of our UK or USA based consultants as an onsite project manager, backed up by an offshore software development team.

Your requirements set the skills, we work with you to set the goals and your business dictates the timelines. All the human resources, training and management are left to Seanergy’s experienced management team. This model works best when the software development project has no clear boundaries, or when you have a continuous stream of projects and want to keep the same dedicated team over the medium to long term.

Benefits of a Retainer Price Model

• An increased resource base that extends your company’s ability to take on large projects
• Rapid scalability on a temporary basis as necessary
• Decreased development overheads and reduced operating costs
