Fixed duration and cost

The model is usually opted when the projects are time bound with fixed budgets.

Best suited for:

  • Projects where requirements are well quoted in advance and are not likely to change during development process.
  • Small to mid-sized projects that are extremely tight budgeted and have time constraints.

 

Time and materials (T&M)

These are projects that are contracted and owed on the basis of hours spent and resources deployed for implementing each task involved. The model provides flexibility to the client in terms of developing the specifications time to time as per the market needs. To ensure authenticity and cross verification, reports detailing the number of hours spent for each task within a project are sent to clients.

Best suited for:
  • Projects those are prone to specification and design changes midstream.

Recommendations

When we decided to re-vamp the look and feel of our existing corporate website, we didn’t know what to expect as we were outsourcing such work for the first time... The project was perfectly handled and executed right from the first day, it took a little longer to finish the website than planned; however, we could not have asked for a better designed website.
Icreon Drupal Team did a great job!!!"
