Typical DataPark implementation consists of two stages, creating a data warehouse and setting up DataPark. Consequently, pricing of the whole package is split into two components, data warehouse project and DataPark usage.
Data Warehouse Project
There are a few different scenarios in which the price for this component of DataPark implementation can vary. It depends on the following:
- Does the data warehouse already exist? – If RudiBela Business Solutions consultants are to be involved in creation of DW, the price depends on the complexity and time spent on the project.
- Where will it be hosted? – We offer hosting on our servers strategically located in Canada, UK, Malta and Sweden, to optimize performance for individual clients.
- Who will manage it? – We have skills and experience in database administration and tuning for high performance on a number of RDBMS (MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.)
DataPark Fee
DataPark is offered in a subscription model. Price is based on number of users and is paid monthly. We also offer long-term contracts at discounted rates. Minimum commitment period is not required. There is a setup fee that is needed because of up-front investment we must make in facilities and service delivery capabilities to properly support our clients.
This business model is known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Is has a number of benefits over traditional ways of owning software.
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – reduced up front costs.
- Rapid deployment with less risk – quick installation and configuration.
- Fast installation of new features – release management is performed by us with minimum impact on application availability.
- Reduced HR costs – it takes away the need to hire extra IT personnel skilled in business intelligence, database and system administration (average yearly salary approximately $96k according to monster.ca, plus hiring costs in average 30%-40% of employee’s yearly salary, training and more).
- no additional hardware required – it is handled by us.
- increased productivity and ROI – this is a result of reduced TCO and faster deployment.
SaaS shifts the burden of successful deployment and management from the customer to the vendor, improving user productivity by increasing application reliability and security.
Today when competitive, customer and compliance pressures are escalating, a growing number of companies are recognizing that SaaS represents a more economical and effective approach to obtaining and leveraging business software.
