Fixed-Price Model or Milestone Based Billing
Suitable for customers with well-defined project requirements and schedules. This model provides the clients with flexibility when there is concern over progress in remote projects. Under this option, the customer pays a pre-negotiated fixed price for the complete project scope agreed upon, which in turn is linked to well-defined deliverables. Pithad’s Milestones based payment options and schedules are pre defined from the onset of the project thus enabling the client to reduce risk by visibly monitoring progress of the project.
Time and Material Model or Effort Based Billing
When scope, specification and implementation plans of a software development project are not easy to define at the outset, Time & Material Model becomes an attractive option. Our Efforts based Pricing Model ensures that the project costing is a culmination of total project execution time and the corresponding resources deployed on the project. Usually complex projects prone to specification changes and design or functional changes midstream are the ones to benefit from this model. This model provides the clients with flexibility of being able to make changes or amendments to the project scope on an ongoing basis and updating modifications to the project keeping in line with the ever evolving market demands. We have very strict project management and reporting practices whereby task sheets are generated on a daily / weekly basis for each of the developer on the project.
Offshore Dedicated Development Center
