AST has been providing turnkey (fixed price) projects for Oracle Applications implementations and upgrades for the past ten years. We have developed exceptional expertise in accurately projecting the budget and successfully executing Oracle ERP projects on a firm fixed price basis.

We have leveraged our extraordinary knowledge and experience with fixed price projects to create a valuable estimation tool - Project Budget Calculator (PBC). Project managers and users of Oracle E-Business Suite can use this self-service application to create a budget and timeline for their implementation and upgrade projects.  PBC has been used internally by AST's business development staff and project managers for the last several years and is now available to the Oracle user community for free, where they can create multiple “what-if” scenarios and see the impact on their project cost in a matter of minutes.

Fixed price projects are most suited to the customers that have -

§         A pre-defined scope of work and are comfortable with the relatively rigid scope of work

§         A clear management oversight of the project that can enforce the approval and acceptance of deliverables

§         A stable environment for all systems that interact or will interact with the Oracle E-Business Suite

§         Business leads that are involved with the project and are committed to the project scope

§         Flexibility in adopting to newer business practices and industry best practices

In the fiscal year 2007, approximately 60% of our new projects were based on fixed price contract terms. If you think that this is the right option for your company feel free to try the PBC or get in touch with AST sales staff for a quote/proposal.
