| Goldstone offers customers three cost-models options from
which to choose. Fixed Cost
You present the project specifications to the Goldstone Development Team. From those
specifications, we will determine the development cost. Development may be done onsite, or
at one of our development centers in the US or India. For you, this is the most
cost-effective model and is usually recommended.
Licensing
Goldstone licensing model is the best option for Integration Solutions vendors (like EAI,
B2B, SCM, and Wireless solution vendors,) or System Integrators who anticipate multiple
opportunities to use the adapter and wish to spread the costs over a period of time. This
model provides for very little up-front investment from you.Clients usually commit to a
certain number of licenses to be used during a specified time frame.You pay only for the
licenses, which are used. This model is substantially less than the one time fixed cost of
development.
Time and Material
In situations where the requirements are difficult to define at the outset of the project,
or for which you wish to have a higher level of control over the project execution, the
Time and Material model is the best option.
