(We do NOT require clients to commit to monthly, annual, or fixed fee support agreements and firmly believe that value-based billing is never in the best interest of the client.

Our current consulting rates ranges from $120 - $180 per hour and are billed in 5 minute increments with travel time charged at half rate.
Test / Prototype Installations to verify the solution (click to display more)
Test / Prototype installations are used as an overview of large systems to confirm that Adagio is a proper fit. It may include setting up of test database on your server so the software can be reviewed in your office, on your time frame.
