Consulting

Consulting on technical or best-practice issues that fall outside the scope of standard Support and Training policies is available upon request, and priced on a case-by-case basis. Consulting is billed on an hourly basis for Business / Usage consulting and Technical / Engineering consulting. If onsite travel is needed, these expenses will be billed separately. Consulting deliverables are typically defined after detailed conversions about the installation requirements — and the customer’s resources. When consulting is needed it usually falls into one of following categories:
