Scores 1-5 indicative · 1 = low, 5 = high. Internal scale, to validate per your context.
Choice depends on desired autonomy, program criticality, and contractual engagement style. We frame the model at Intake: if the client wants to stay in control, we go with TM or DC; if the client expects an outcome commitment, we go with SC; for mutualized expertise across a group, we go with CC.
We do not publish rate cards. Pricing is built at Intake from four variables: volume, complexity, delivery model, and commitment level (effort / fixed-price / outcome). Effective investment is structured around the four engagement levels above (One-off expertise, Transformation program, Expertise center, Operations). A short 2 to 6-week POC measures real productivity before committing to the full program.
Posted day rates mislead: a COBOL legacy modernization program and a GenAI POC don't share team structure, deliverables, or guarantees. We prefer to build transparent pricing from real scope, validated at Intake, then measured in POC. The client receives a detailed pricing document by engagement level and by pole mobilized.
Default: monthly billing on DC/CC cells, with contractual deliverable milestones. For fixed-price, tranches are proposed at Intake (e.g., 30% on order, 40% on interim deliverables, 30% on acceptance). SLA-based SC is billed monthly with bonus/malus on service indicators.
Yes, frequently. A modernization program can start with TM for scoping, then shift to DC for migration, then evolve to SC for operations. Each shift is formalized by an amendment and a transition plan.
Access International is our historical Tunisia-based entity, carrying Europe and Middle East programs. Vivantro is our French subsidiary, carrying North America programs in nearshore co-delivery. Our Montreal and Riyadh partners complete regional coverage. Contracts are signed with the locally best-suited entity depending on tax and client governance.
A short POC (2 to 6 weeks) is billed at direct cost of a small cell (architect + 1-2 developers + partial tech lead). If the full program proceeds, consumed hours can roll into the overall fixed price. If the POC stops, the client keeps deliverables and measurements.
The pricing document is exhaustive: what is included is traced, what is not is also called out (third-party licenses, travel for on-site workshops, infra hosting). No post-signature surprise. Exceptional travel is billed at cost.
