Fixed price (FP)

We charge a fixed quote for the defined healthcare project scope. The payment schedule is aligned with the project’s milestones.

Optimal for: Waterfall projects.

Time and Materials (T&M)

We charge for the actual time spent on healthcare software development at an hourly rate of the outsourced specialists and issue monthly invoices with reports on completed work.

Time and Materials with a cap (T&M NTE)

We charge for the actual time spent on healthcare software development but cannot exceed a certain total charge. The customer is charged monthly.

Optimal for: projects with potential slight changes of scope, but with strict budget limitations.
