Implementation Costs |
Depends on many factors including:
Data migration, training, modules needed to be configured, and source code enhancements
are variables that can impact implementation. Typically, our SaaS implementations
which also include training usually are less than 5K USD (OmniBiz and/or
On-Premise implementation costs will be higher). We do not charge yearly
fees, so all implementation costs are one time expenses. |
