Consider A Project Evaluation
For most organizations, a paid project evaluation puts you in the best position to receive accurate project costs and facilitates stronger client/provider relationships.
What Is A Project Evaluation And Why Is It Valuable?
A Project Evaluation begins with us combing through your current website and CRM/ticketing provider data (under terms of a non-disclosure agreement, naturally), having a number of conversations with you about what you would like to change about your current structure and what you like, then putting together detailed recommendations for proposed work along with providing options and costs for reaching those goals.
An evaluation eliminates conjecture and details the project to such a level that there are no pricing surprises, no push back against cost overruns via project creep (your desire for improved functionality based on an improved understanding through the development process learning curve) and the document serves as a benchmark towards the project’s successful completion.
It isn’t unusual for a process like this to occur after you select a provider but frankly, that’s not really in your best interest because you’re locked into project terms and costs once you sign the agreement.
Project Evaluation Strengths
- Far more accurate project estimates.
- Eliminates project scope conjecture.
- Provides a better picture of provider skill sets.
- Facilitates stronger client/provider relationships.
RFP or Project Evaluation?
A Project Evaluation begins with us combing through your current website and CRM/ticketing provider data (under terms of a non-disclosure agreement, naturally), having a number of conversations with you about what you would like to change about your current structure and what you like, then putting together detailed recommendations for proposed work along with providing options and costs for reaching those goals.
How Much Does A Project Evaluation Cost?
We charge a flat fee for any evaluation; following the evaluation report and recommendations, if you decide to move forward and become an UpStage user, we will apply 100 percent of the evaluation’s cost toward your first year’s annual fee. Think of your evaluation as non-refundable deposit that provides better understanding and cost control measures.
Prices range from $2,000 – $5,000 and are determined by the following factors:
- Including your website in the analysis.
- If there are any third party providers the system needs to connect with.
- The number of current providers and the amount of historical data to review.
