Why N-Tier » Engagement Models

We understand our client's requirements and work with them in selecting a combination of business /operational models to suit their need.

Fixed Bid (Time / Cost)

A fixed time, fixed price model can be used when the scope and specification of the project is well defined and reasonably clear.

This option offers customers a low-risk and guarantees on-time, on-budget delivery of projects.
In this model the Deliverables, Costs and Timelines are clearly defined in advance.
In this model, our role includes scoping, development, implementation, and business support offering a tremendous advantage on the cost front.

In the model, Customers pay a monthly charge based on the size and composition of the team.
This model typically works when the requirements get concretized with the progress of the project.
In this business model, we form project teams with the required team members, project managers, equipment and infrastructure based on project
This model offers the flexibility to balance team size and project workloads.

We could also bid for partial phases of a project on a fixed time, fixed price basis and the remaining parts on a time and material basis.
In such engagements, the Client has complete flexibility in using our services in tasks that match their area of expertise.

Under this business model N-Tier shares the risks involved in developing and marketing a product along with our customers.
N-Tier can invest and share the development costs and the Intellectual Property (IP) ownership along with sharing the revenue / licensing fees.
With this risk-reward model for project delivery, we are open to linking our charges for a project with the level of business benefit our Clients realize.
The risk and reward model is typically used during software product/subsystem development.

We are always willing to gain the confidence of our client before even looking at a committed relationship getting established.
We have done on earlier occasions and are willing to offer an offshore pilot project at a very minimal professional fee to a new client of ours.
