Intervention
An automated workflow handles drafting, coordination and reminders — turning 15 business days into minutes to a few days.

The analysis day

One analysis day is usually enough. For larger companies or unclear situations, further analysis days may be needed, at €950 each. I tell you at the end of the first day, and we only continue with your go-ahead. The concept and implementation plan are derived from the evaluation. You receive the price of the implementation in advance as a written quote.
