Pricing

What this usually costs.

Most consultancies will not publish a number. These are genuine starting points, in New Zealand dollars and excluding GST, so you can work out whether a conversation is worth having before you have it.

This is a planning figure produced by a simple formula, not a quote. Real scope depends on what discovery finds — which is exactly why we start with a fixed-price review.

Pricing questions

Are these prices fixed?

The fixed-price items — assessments and reviews — are. Project ranges are starting points that depend on scope, which is why we recommend an assessment first.

Do the figures include GST?

No. All figures are exclusive of GST and of your own cloud consumption and third-party licensing.

How do you charge for ongoing work?

Managed support is a monthly fee, cancellable with notice. Project work is quoted against an agreed scope with a written change process.

Do you take a percentage of cloud savings?

No. We charge for the work. A percentage-of-savings model rewards dramatic-sounding changes rather than sensible ones.

Want a real number?

Book thirty minutes. We will scope it well enough to give you a range we would stand behind, or tell you it is not worth doing.
