To the point of providing flat rate pricing at my job. We realized spending an hour or two getting a sign off on an SOW or spending four hours on a discovery call didn't change the time it took to complete in 90% of cases. I can just price my stuff all the same because for the most part, EDI mapping is EDI mapping. If we run into something weird. Yeah. But thats once or twice per quarter.
Meanwhile our ecommerce integration product pricing is all over the place, because there is just so much variation. I am hoping to move that to base pricing for the product + time and materials for consulting.
In a sense my EDI team is busier, less stressed, but less gratified. The web team is always getting a curve ball and its certainly a younger man's game. Or at least someone who's willing to roll with the punches, but the payoff is sweet
