Ally Consulting Arrangements
Performance-Based Ally will work with you to determine which improvements would provide the best return to your business. We'll develop the business case and determine the benefit of our services. You pay us base on our performance toward the business case.
Fixed-Price Ally likes fixed-price. We are, after all, project managers. If you can clearly define the products or services, we'll offer a fixed-price agreement. If you'd like help defining the products or services, we can fix-price that service also. You pay us only upon your acceptance of the products.
Time & Materials When you're not quite sure what you need, or you just need some additional expertise, Ally offers fair hourly rates — and we don't gouge you by billing for travel time.
