A single agreed fee for the engagement, set before we start. You know the cost on day one, and it does not move with the size of the saving. Best when the scope is clear and you want budget certainty.
A fixed fee is a flat, agreed price for a defined Oracle engagement. You pay it upfront, and it does not change with the outcome. The advantage is certainty. You can put an exact number in the budget and know it will not move.
We use fixed fee most often for audit defense, contract review, and cloud migration advisory. In each of these the work is bounded. There is a letter to answer, a contract to mark up, or a migration to model, and we can see the shape of it before we start.
The fee reflects the products in scope, the size of the deal, and the timeline. A single database audit is priced differently from a global ULA certification. We quote the number after a short discovery call and put it in writing.
The fee buys the full engagement through to closure, not a report you then have to act on alone. We run the analysis, build the position, draft the responses, and sit in the negotiation with your team.
You get one senior team for the duration. There is no junior handoff and no hourly meter running in the background. If the work finishes early, the fee does not change, and neither does it if the negotiation takes longer than expected within the agreed scope.
For deeper context on how we run an engagement, see how it works and our approach. For the alternative model where we only get paid when you save, see success fee pricing.
Fixed fee suits audit defense, contract review, and cloud migration advisory where the scope and timeline are reasonably clear at the outset. You get a known cost and we carry the engagement to closure.
We scope the work in a short discovery call, then quote a flat fee tied to the products, the deal size, and the timeline. The number is agreed in writing before any work begins.
The fixed fee covers the agreed scope through to closure. If the scope materially changes, for example Oracle expands an audit, we agree any adjustment with you before continuing.
Yes. Some clients start fixed for the analysis phase and move to success fee for the negotiation itself. We will recommend the split that costs you least.
