Basis Rates

Two rates. Everything else follows.

Every engagement is priced from one of two basis rates — confirmed for your scope, not published as a list price.

🛠 Implementation / Delivery

Hands-on: ABAP, integrations, Fiori / RAP / BTP builds, POCs, migration support, bugfixes, performance.

🧭 Strategic / Architecture

Design, governance, roadmap, partner selection, architecture reviews, pure advisory, senior oversight.

Commitment Discount

The longer you commit, the lower your effective rate.

Applied automatically to the relevant basis rate — no negotiation required. Fragmented, short-notice work carries a premium instead.
