There is no fixed answer to this question.
The price itself is a complex notion which is why it important to define its scope and structure. The contracting company would often underestimate the indirect (hidden) implementation costs– the involvement of personnel (key members of the management team, project manager, quality control manager), the training of the employees, incompatibility with existing software solutions, the period of parallel operations, data conversion, consultations, collecting data for the business analyses, modifications etc.
 | The company specifics |
 | Business processes covered - scale |
 | Define the level of detail |
 | Software licences – number of workstations (simultaneous connections to the DB) /usage time/amount of uses/ number of operations etc. |
 | The cost of business analysis |
 | Software customization and settings |
 | Training costs |
 | The cost of restructuring, processing and moving of the previous data |
 | Integration with other software applications / systems / services (extranet applications, website) |
 | The efforts made by the client company – alternative revenues lost from the "loss of valuable time" |
 | The time of simultaneous operations |
