Enhancement Hours
The most convenient way to get the certified expertise you need - a bank of hours that you can use when it suits you.
Getting budget approval to engage certified experts for a laundry list of smaller system tasks or improvements can be a difficult sell.
We can offer you a more convenient way - Banks of Enhancement Hours.
So, you know that there are ways to get better results, reports and visibility from your toolset. And, you already have an idea of where these changes could be made (maybe you've already taken advantage of our amazing Fixed Price Assessment option). You know that you don't have the need or urgency of a full on Project engagement (such as a Cloud Migration or other Fixed Price Project) but rather have a range of smaller jobs that can be completed over a period of time, as and when your workload allows it.
The intrinsic problem with a proposition like this, is that it's difficult to present an accurate timeline or budget for completing your tasks when applying to the proper channels for funding. What if the work takes longer or costs more than you originally anticipated?
Why should you have to choose between quality and convenience?
We offer you a simple, convenient way of getting the expertise you need, while also avoiding inaccurate quotes by providing the flexibility of pre-paid hours.
How does it work?
Your choice
Once you have purchased a bank of enhancement hours, simply raise a request in our Customer portal. We will be in contact to discuss the enhancements, and to book in the work.
You remain in control of the work - all tasks and meeting notes are held in a Jira/Confluence instance which is shared with you.
This means that you can have access to a certified expert on your terms - when you want, how you want - without a huge financial or time commitment.
These banks of hours can be used up to a year from purchase. You can also purchase more hours whenever you are running low or have the budget.
Your convenience
The guiding principle behind our banks of enhancement hours is convenience. This option allows you to spend as much or as little at a time in order to meet the budget and/or time constraints you are facing.
Unlike our more in-depth options, we don't need to take such a deep dive into your system specs, this makes the entire process simpler and quicker. It also means that we can work around your schedule.
Can't afford downtime or other items on your plate right now? Just let us know when is a good time for you, and we can book you in.
