Price Per Class Day includes all class materials, booklets, and instructor costs.
* Unlike other firms, we offer a quantity discount, as it does not cost that much more to teach
10 than 9 students.
But the classroom space remains a fixed cost, regardless of the number of students.
If there are only 3-6 students, and we supply the classroom, then we have to charge something
towards rent.
For 1-4 students, we suggest training at your facility, so that you can save on the classroom
charge.
It is easy to find a training site for 1-2, such as a conference room, on laptops.
But if it is too busy at your facility, we can supply a classroom with an excellent learning
environment.
If the class or consulting is outside of the Washington DC metro area, please add air or train fare, hotel and transportation costs.
for a course or consultation on line.
After the session, we appreciate your evaluation.

We understand that switching software must be done so you and your staff can continue operating. So, conversions are best done during the evening and weekends. So we offer a "Trial Conversion" for you at any time on your database for the regular price, so you can see how the conversion turns out. You can give us feedback on anything you would like changed so we can make adjustments. No two companies use the software the same way. So differences can occur in the data conversions. Then, the night before you "go live" we will do a re-conversion with your latest data for only half price. This way there are no surprises when you are ready to start using your new software. Any unusual issues will have been already predicted and taken care of. This is similar to the reason in theatre for going through a "dress rehearsal" to get any kinks out before the "opening night" to make sure everything is as perfect as possible.

| 1. First, compute your price using the above
chart. 2. Learn which files you need to send from our Data Conversion Matrix 3. Then compress or "zip" your data files, using Windows XP or WinZip 4. Then send file for Data Conversion using our secure online form at DataUpload.com --> Or, you can use a File Transfer (FTP) program. 5. When we are done preparing your new data file, we will send
instructions for downloading. |

Quantity Discounts: For some clients, we do the conversion on a weekly basis at a substantial discount. For example, a salesman who likes to use Goldmine, can send his database to his Sales Manager who uses ACT! for activity analysis. This way they are both happy. We also give a 1% discount for each database after the first one, up to 10%. For example, for 4 database, there is a 3% discount off the total price.
Popular Software vs. "In House" Databases: We can offer the low prices on the above chart if we have a large volume of work with that database. These include such packages as ACT!, Goldmine, SalesForce.com, NetSuite.com, etc. If your database is one that was developed "in house" for your own organization, we will need to charge some time to become familiar with the database structure. This may add 2-4 hours to the above mentioned prices.
Note: We are selling our time, working on your conversion project. If the job takes longer than the estimate, we will let you know as soon as possible. We make every effort to stay within the Standard Estimate from the chart above, and do so about 98% of the time. The cost depends on several factors:
The conversions we have done most often are the best ones. The newer software has room for improvement. We have marked those that we consider "routine" by now in the above chart in bold.
User Defined Fields: ACT! 15 standard User Defined Fields, and Goldmine
has 16, which are FREE. After that, please add $1 per User Defined Field, as it takes more
time to accommodate them.
Example: a 2000 record Sharkware database with 140 custom fields would be $210 (from the above
chart) +$125 (140 - 15 =125) = $335
Generally, there is $1 per field that is above the normal number of fields for in the software we
are converting to.
Email Messages $1 per megabyte of email messages to convert.
For example $118 for a 188,000,000 byte Goldmine MAILBOX.DBT file converted to a Microsoft
Outlook.PST
If only emails need to be converted, without contacts, a minimum $60 setup fee would apply.
We usually supply 1 PST with all the Users' folders. If you want us to create separate PSTs,
that is $10 per User/PST.

For ODBC/SQL based database conversions (SalesLogix, Microsoft CRM, Oracle, etc.)- where we have to log in to your environment, we bill $60 per hour. Usually this takes a 1-2 hours. We have found that it is much less time consuming (and less expensive for you) to log in to the environment where the database already works, rather than having to recreate your environment on our system. We have found LogMeIn.com and GoToMyPC to be a good means to log in to your desktop for the Extraction Phase of the Conversion. The rest of the process can be done on our computers.
Rush overnight conversions can be done for $60 more (1 hour). In order to offer you the lowest prices, we have to keep many disks "spinning" at a time. The Rush Fee puts your job as the next one to do. Weekends are not considered rush. Weekends make a good time for a transition. So you can leave off Friday afternoon with one program, and begin with another by Monday morning, while still leaving us room for contingencies.
Optional "Do Not Call" Marking: We can help you avoid costly fines by flagging numbers that are on the latest DoNotCall.Gov and state lists.
Our goal is to offer you the very best value in data conversion. As the number of records to convert increases, your cost per record dramatically decreases. You get more records converted per dollar, when there are more records.

Software Purchase: Some day we plan to offer a conversion program as a software package, but there are still improvements being made, and more features being added. The price for such a program would be about $500. So, for most customers, having us do it is more cost effective. We already know how to run it, and what to watch for. We have a patent pending on some our procedures and cannot release a product until it is finalized.
