I need help with pricing my database

[Guest]

Hi everyone.
If possible I would like some guidence on pricing my database because I have
no idea how to go about it? All I need to know is are there any specific
guidelines I should follow? For instance: Do I make a one-off charge for the
time it’s
taken me to do it or do I charge, in relation, to the time, money and effort
it’s going to save the user. There’s also the question of support contracts,
copyrights etc. Can anybody suggest a website where I can get all this type
of information?

Hi

Not really sure how to answer. I work for a few companies on a retainer (I
get paid the same whatever needs doing) which means that once the DB is
created I have the maintainence contract for XX years - it works best for me
and the companies as we both know the cash flow for DB's for the next xx
years.

You could try looking at this post - Programmeing Cost Question.

It's as good as anywhere to start.

Good luck
