Basic Terminology
-
Definition of Change(s): Change, for us, encompasses altering the software flow, modifying entire processes, changing the underlying logic employed in software development, and adjusting system analysis. These modifications are integral aspects that require careful consideration during the initial design/ SA & Testing phase.
-
Software Design Analogy: Designing software parallels the construction of a house or complex. Altering the placement of critical elements, such as bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, or halls after the foundational structure is approved and finishing is completed, incurs substantial costs in terms of dismantling, additional materials, labour, and time. It is advisable to implement such changes during the design phase, specifically during system analysis and testing.
-
Impact of Frequent ERP Changes: Frequent modifications to the ERP system pose challenges, hindering system stability and compromising the attainment of desired results. A stable outcome is unlikely if an organization continuously implements changes.
-
Bug Fixing Policy: Ongoing bug fixing is an inherent part of our service and is not subject to additional charges.
-
Additional Module Creation: As previously clarified, the creation of new modules, such as HR or Vehicle Tracking Systems, incurs additional charges.
-
Additional Business Ventures: The initiation of new business ventures, apart from the business work flow ordered with us, such as Construction, Real Estate, Dyeing & Printing, Mining, etc., will be subject to additional charges. This policy ensures transparent and fair billing for any expansion or diversification of services.
