Price per unit: billing per server, cluster, user or application.
Time and materials: hourly billing, useful for unpredictable work but hard to budget.
Combination: base fee plus a quota for changes.
Service hours: 24/7 standby costs more than business-hours support.
Response times: shorter guaranteed response times require more staff on call.
Complexity: number of systems, dependencies and compliance requirements.
Location: nearshoring inside the EU usually sits between onshore and offshore prices.
Transition: one-off effort for inventory, documentation and handover.
These are monthly entry prices. The exact price depends on scope and service hours and can be configured in the Sales Hub.
