"Ballpark" Estimate

The following list is a sampling of actual quotes for projects we've recently quoted and/or performed. These quotes are meant as a guide only. For a quote specific to your situation, please fill out our quote request form.

 e-Commerce/Web Sites 

We've built full-featured e-commerce sites (SQL Server backend, online registration, secure log in, "shopping cart", etc.) for as little as $9,000 ranging up to about $40,000. A "typical" site is usually $15,000 to $25,000.

If all you're looking for right now is a Web presence (information about your company and a way for a potential customer to request more information; similar to this ibiscc.com site), a "typical" cost would be from $2,000 to $5,000. Specific Quote

 Training  

If you are looking for training for just one or two people, you're likely better off using a local CTEC (Certified Technical Education Center). They can deliver a 5 day course for $1,750 to $2,500 per student.

If, however, you are looking for training for several people, or for customized or accelerated training, we can almost always save you money. Consider the following recent examples:

SQL Server 2000 Programming: Two and one-half day custom course offered to 8 students in Reading, PA. Total cost: $4,100 ($513 per student).

Windows 2000 Professional: Five day ALS course offered to 10 students in Denver, CO. Total cost: $5,750 ($575 per student).

SQL Server 2000 Administration and Programming: Five day custom course offered to 8 students in Seattle, WA. Total cost: $6,100 ($763 per student).

SQL Server Optimization: Three day customized MOC course #2013 offered to 5 students in Denver, CO. Total cost: $4,100 ($820 per student).

ASP.net: Three day MOC course #2063 offered to 6 students in Denver, CO. Total cost: $4,500 ($750 per student).

Even if you don't save a substantial amount of money using Ibis trainers, consider that the class size will be small, will contain only your employees, and that our trainers have extensive real-world experience (most CTECs have stopped using contract trainers and have only full-time trainers on staff; Ibis' trainers spend most of their time consulting and only train occassionally).

 Database Systems  

It's very difficult to generalize about database solutions because of the vast array of functionality a given database may need. We've designed and built systems for managing vital corporate functions for anywhere from $2,000 up to $30,000. Specific Quote

 Networking  

Again, generalizing is difficult. Companies have spent as little as $800 for our help in configuring a Windows NT network for DNS, DHCP, and WINS while others have spent almost $10,000 for a more comprehensive network implementation. Specific Quote
