Engagement Models

Our philosophy

The success of our customers is our first priority. We provide our customers with objective, current, and innovative options for capitalizing on opportunities and solving problems for the short- and long-term. We ususally accept enagagements where we genuinely believe we can add value and provide an effective service. In some cases, our clients have challenged us to build skills outside our area of expertise, so we can help the customer overcome their challenges and build a strong, long-term relationship.

Engagement approach

We strive to build long-term relationships with our clients. Initial engagements can range from three-months to longer than a year. To staff engagements, we draw talent from our in-house consulting staff and from a network of professional business partners with a broad range of skills and experience. Throughout the engagement, we offer highest quality of consulting services with an emphasis on customer focus, and a single point of contact to maintain overall relationship.

Pricing

Infonetica provides high quality services and our pricing is reasonable. The skills, experience, and certifications of our consultants implies improved productivity. Our reliance on local talent brings down the travel cost. To keep customer's costs low and predictable, we prefer to bill on a milestone basis rather than by the hour. Regardless of pricing model, our consultants provide the same high-quality service.
