The second phase in our project approach is the development of the prototype.
Prototype
The goal is to show you your new system in 'small' with:
- your own data
- your own layout
- your functionality
For this we agree on a number of your pages or screens that are relevant to automate. Based on this selection which should cover 80/90% of your catalogue or website, we define the prototype.
Based on the result of the prototype it is very clear:
- we know what we have to deliver
- you know what you are getting for your invest as a fixed price proposal sollows the prototype stage
Items covered in the prototype
- General project aspects
- project conception and detailed definition
- finalize project scope

This phase is concluded with a presentation in which all of the details, possibilities and impossibilities are discussed.
Moreover we will present budget-influencing alternatives.
The time it takes to make the prototype ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on capacity and complexity.
This phase is concluded with a fixed price proposal for the full-project. |
