Solutions · Pricing

How we price — transparent rather than on request.

We state our pricing model openly — fixed price when scope is clearly bounded, daily rate for ongoing advisory work, monthly fixed price for Application Care. Concrete numbers we calculate together in the initial conversation, once we understand your use case.

Three models

We pick the model that fits the task.

Different tasks call for different pricing logics. Here are the three models we work with — and when we use each.

Fixed price

Starter packages & workshops

When scope and outcome are clearly defined — discovery workshops, compliance navigators, Foundry pilots — we use fixed pricing. You know up front what you'll get, what it costs, and when it ends. No timesheet debates.

Daily rate

Implementation projects

For ongoing implementation projects — a Microsoft Dynamics 365 rollout, a Power Platform application, an Independent Engineering platform — we work on a daily-rate basis. Tiered by seniority level. Hourly rate = daily rate / 8. Travel time within DACH is not billable.

Monthly fixed price

Application Care

After go-live: three service models (Light, Standard, Plus) as a monthly fixed price. Update care, response to support tickets, adjustment hours included in the package. Pricing depends on system size and desired response time.

What comes on top

So you're not caught by surprise.

  • Microsoft licenses. We supply Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) licenses, but quote them separately — list prices, no markup, cancellable monthly. Advice on license optimization is included in the daily rate or workshop price.
  • Third-party licenses. Tools such as KingswaySoft, Plumsail, Sharperlight etc. are passed through at vendor price.
  • Cloud infrastructure. In Independent Engineering, we pass through Hetzner/STACKIT costs transparently.
  • On-site travel outside DACH. Within DACH, travel time is not billable. Outside (e.g., EU offices), we bill travel hours at 50% of the daily rate plus expenses.

How an initial conversation goes

Content first, then the number.

In the 30-minute initial conversation, we listen, classify, and give you a rough indication at the end in one of three ranges — small, medium, or large. This indication is non-binding; it's just there to give you a first orientation. If a follow-up project makes sense, we quote it in writing and in detail, based on the requirements we developed together.

When scope is clearly bounded — typical for a discovery workshop or an architecture scoping — we give a fixed-price indication directly. For ongoing implementation projects or embedded-team mode, we quote on a daily-rate basis with an effort estimate in person-days.

What we don't do: name numbers without content. A meaningful number comes from your task — not from a price tag on a website block.

Market positioning

We sit in the middle — deliberately.

Large international consultancies typically command the highest daily rates for Microsoft Business Applications advisory. Small boutiques and freelancers sit at the low end. Specialized mid-market partners cover the middle range.

We position ourselves as a mid-market specialist with senior depth. What you get is senior practice from 20+ years of experience, without an account-manager layer and without a pyramid structure that redistributes senior hours into junior hours. With us, the same person who sits in the initial conversation also sits in the project.

What size fits your plans?

In the initial conversation, we classify your requirements and give you a rough indication. With a clearly defined scope, we also calculate a first fixed-price indication.
