Fixed Time/ Fixed Price

Influxive offers customers a fixed time / fixed price model when the scope and specifications of the project are reasonably clear. Under this low-risk model we work with clients to define expected deliverables and timelines to determine a mutually agreed fixed price. Our refined process guarantees reliability, predictability and optimized performance of the projects and assures on-time and on-budget outcomes.

Time and Material

Through the Time & Material Business Model Influxive gives customers greater flexibility to alter the project specification on an ongoing basis based on upcoming market trends. This model best suits complex projects inclined to specification and design changes. The client pays an hourly rate which is agreed at the time of contract signing. The client may revise the team size optimizing the cost and duration of the project.

Milestone Billing

This option can be applied to large long-lasting projects with measurable phases.  Payment schedules are defined on time (ex. monthly) or milestone basis. This model reinforces progress monitoring and reduces large projects risks.

Hourly Rate Assignment Model

Influxive gives customers greater flexibility to alter the project specification on an ongoing basis based upon upcoming market trends. The client pays a fixed hourly rate which is agreed at the time of contract signing. This model best works with regular & ongoing maintenance and support services. The minimum hourly rate contract that Influxive offers is for atleast 100 manhours of services.

Dedicated Teams Model (DTM)

Dedicated Teams Model (DTM) is an excellent solution if you need a complete control over human and technical resources involved into the development process. DTM features a high level of transparency, security, flexibility and scalability. All infrastructure and personnel are at your dedicated service as long as you need them for a fixed monthly fee. DTM is a good choice if you need a team of highly-qualified professionals that will exactly match your IT and business needs. This makes the development process more explicit and manageable and ensures a higher resources efficiency.

Dedicated teams operates as an extension of the customer's development center. In this model, Influxive forms project teams with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on client requirements. For such dedicated relationships, we may offer implement customer specific quality/process frameworks trained for the specific needs of a client.

The advantage coming from moving your software development operations offshore is that it determines significant savings on staff, equipment and technology, giving you the possibility to concentrate more on the business part, in order to reduce risk and gain a better position on the market.
