Implementation
What are the costs of implementation?
The costs of implementation depend on a couple of factors:
- The amount of implementation activities to be performed depends on your personal goals and preferences.
- Implementation activities can be performed internally or can be outsourced to Coperitas staff. You decide how much internal time or resources you want to use or the activities you would like to outsource. Implementation is rendered at our hourly rate of € 150,- if you decide to outsource it to Coperitas staff.
What is the implementation process?
The implementation steps depend on your personal goals and available resources (internal staff, time and funds). In general, the implementation process will look as follows:
- Together we determine the scope of implementation and steps to be taken.
- Distribution of implementation steps amongst both parties (you and Coperitas staff). As you have full control over Coperitas, you can do much of the implementation yourself. If preferred, our Coperitas staff can support you.
- Set-up of client test and production environments.
- Start collecting and processing necessary information and data.
