  Pricing  

For software development projects we have two distinct methods of charging:

Man-day basis

For smaller projects we keep things simple by charging on a man-day basis. This means that all quotes are estimates only. You benefit when we deliver the project under time, but continue to pay when more time than anticipated is required. Only when full requirements gathering and a specification has been performed (requirements gathering and writing of specification are deemed as chargeable) are we able to offer a fixed price option.

Fixed Project Price

The requirements of all of our customers differ; therefore for larger projects we are happy to agree and fix our charges on a per project basis. Whatever charging method you choose for your project, the costs will usually be directly proportional to the number of man-hours we anticipate working on it and depending on the skills & experience of the people involved.

Our Daily rates vary according to the size of the project:

Surfraider's development team
We have a software development team comprising of analysts, project managers and developers. Our team are chosen not only for their technical expertise, but also their history in solving a wide range of business problems.

We believe our team should have a breadth of skills as well as their own specialist areas. We encourage our team to gain certification where appropriate.

Surfraider's tools
We have a wealth of experience with a broad range of database platforms, development tools and technologies. Our main areas of expertise are with Microsoft platforms and tools.  Most new solutions are developed using Microsoft .Net

For a full list of our currently used technologies, please see our skill set.

Surfraider's approach
We analyse, design, develop and implement solutions quickly and effectively and offer full project lifecycle management. We promote a collaborative methodology; working closely with customers in order to produce prototypes and demonstrated throughout a requirement focused RAD process.

Requirements gathering and specification
The first phase of any development project is the performing of a full requirements gathering exercise. Our analysts will talk to the project sponsor as well as end users to formulate an exact list of requirements for your software.

From this requirements gathering, a system specification is produced for your approval. Once signed off this will be used as the basis for the project's development.


Software development
During the development process we will meet with you regularly to discuss progress and any required changes to specification.

Data migration
We have lots of experience in migrating data from existing systems, whether existing RDBMS, user files or other formats. We can take existing flat-file data and transform it into a normalised structure.
 
Training
Where necessary we provide training for your users as an integral part of any software solution that is deployed.

Support
we can offer “traditional” support and maintenance agreements.
