How Much Will It Cost
Profit Profiler will
almost always provide instant payback
versus any alternative technique - along with the opportunity for a very
high return on investment.
The sample project
cost examples shown in this section range from $290 to $780
per project. The cost is determined as follows:
Total Project Cost = Project Setup Fee
+ (No of Users x User Setup Fee)
+ (No of Days with activity x Daily Maintenance Fee)
+ (No of Transactions x Per Transaction Cost)
The definition of a transaction is any time a user:
