05—Engagement models

Four ways of working together

The contract model adapts to your maturity and your organisation — not the other way round. We recommend one at the end of scoping.

Model 01

Fixed price.

Scope, timeline and deliverables contractually committed against a defined objective.

Right when
The requirement is stable and the scope can be frozen: ERP deployment, application overhaul, project with a regulatory deadline.
What is committed
Commitment to results within scope, milestone plan, formal acceptance testing, warranty after go-live.

Model 02

Time & materials.

Skills embedded in your teams, under your management.

Right when
You run the project management in-house and need production capacity or expertise you lack.
What is committed
Commitment of means, named profiles, contracted duration and volume, gradual ramp-up.

Model 03

Managed service centre.

Most common

A dedicated team taking ownership of an application scope over time.

Right when
You want to outsource maintenance and enhancements for a set of applications with service-level commitments.
What is committed
Defined service levels, single point of contact, enhancement budget, periodic reporting and steering committee.

Model 04

Build–Operate–Transfer.

We build and operate, then transfer to your teams.

Right when
You are building internal capability and need to move fast without long-term dependency on a supplier.
What is committed
Build and operate phases, transfer plan, training and support through the handover.

Pricing is provided after scoping, based on the committed scope.
