Practical questions
Before requesting a proposal
Is this a prebuilt CRM subscription?+
No. The engagement is scoped around the business requirements and the agreed service or software outcome.
Can the work be delivered in phases?+
Yes. Many projects begin with the most important workflow and expand after the first release has been validated.
Can existing software remain in place?+
Often yes. Useful systems can remain where suitable access, data ownership and support boundaries are available.
How is pricing determined?+
Pricing depends on users, workflows, data migration, connected systems, reporting, testing and support. A scope review is needed before a responsible estimate can be prepared.
