Option 2 - Defined Days
How it Works
We define key deliverables and a number of days are pre-bought to suport the delivery of the project. You can continue to buy packages of days to bsupport s programme of work. You can use any pre-bought days or hours for ongoing managed services if required.
Option 3 - Subscription
How it Works
We define the key deliverables, service modules required or a tailored managed solution and you pay a monthly subscription for the deliverables, service module(s) or managed solution.
