IT consulting prices are meaningful only when proposals cover the same decision, systems, evidence, stakeholders, deliverables, and implementation responsibility. Scallar scopes IT strategy and technology advisory around the decision your team needs to make rather than publishing a universal hourly rate.
Ranges help you compare scope. Your proposal separates Scallar delivery fees from third-party software, media, API, or usage costs where they apply.
Pricing clarity
An hourly rate does not show how many systems must be assessed, how much evidence is available, or whether the adviser will produce a usable roadmap. Compare proposals by decision scope, deliverables, assumptions, client effort, independence, and what implementation work remains afterwards.
Use fixed scope for a bounded decision or assessment
Use staged discovery when dependencies are poorly documented
Use a retainer only with a decision backlog, outputs, and review cadence
Separate strategy, procurement support, architecture, and implementation costs
Package ranges
Each range describes a different delivery shape. Pick by the outcome and operational workload, not just the lowest number.
All ranges are indicative and scoped before work begins.
Teams comparing one platform, architecture, vendor, or migration direction
Indicative service fee
Rs 60,000 to Rs 1,25,000
Decision brief, evidence review, stakeholder discussions, options, risks, assumptions, and a documented recommendation
Businesses planning their applications, data, integrations, and technology priorities
Indicative service fee
Rs 1,50,000 to Rs 3,50,000
Current-state assessment, target direction, roadmap workshops, dependencies, owners, measures, and investment sequencing
Leadership teams needing recurring architecture, vendor, and roadmap support
Indicative service fee
Rs 1,00,000 to Rs 2,50,000/month
Decision backlog, architecture reviews, vendor evaluation, governance support, leadership reporting, and roadmap updates
Cost factors
Two businesses can ask for the same service name and need completely different scopes. These factors usually explain the price difference.
Number and complexity of applications, integrations, data domains, and vendors
Quality of current inventories, diagrams, contracts, and operating evidence
Number of stakeholders, teams, locations, and decision workshops
Depth of architecture, infrastructure, cloud, data, and migration review
Continuity, regulatory, security, and operational risk requiring specialist input
Whether Scallar advises, governs delivery, evaluates vendors, or supports implementation
Startups
Start with one important platform, architecture, integration, or investment decision and document the assumptions before expanding the advisory scope.
Local businesses
Use a focused current-state review and 12-month technology roadmap tied to operating priorities, ownership, and realistic team capacity.
Growth-stage teams
Assess the application and data landscape, identify dependencies, and sequence investments across the next several quarters.
High-volume lead teams
Add enterprise architecture, portfolio governance, vendor controls, and measurable decision gates across major initiatives.
A useful value case compares the cost of advice with the consequence of a weak decision: duplicated platforms, missed integrations, unreliable migration estimates, avoidable downtime, or a roadmap the organisation cannot operate. Document assumptions and operational measures rather than presenting a guaranteed return.
This is an example calculation, not a guarantee. Actual results depend on offer quality, traffic volume, market competition, response speed, and sales process.
A lower fee can be sensible for a simpler brief. Compare the ownership, quality checks, support, and operating responsibilities that sit behind each option.
Ad-hoc advice
Helpful for a quick viewpoint, but may not include evidence gathering, stakeholder alignment, a roadmap, or implementation follow-through.
Report-only engagement
Can provide a baseline, but confirm whether the findings are prioritised, actionable, and owned by named decision-makers.
Internal project team
Keeps context close to the business, while requiring time, decision rights, and enough technical or operating capacity to complete the work.
Scallar advisory scope
Starts with the decision, evidence, risks, outputs, and responsibilities so leadership can act on a usable recommendation or roadmap.
FAQs
Cost depends on the decision, system landscape, evidence quality, stakeholder access, architecture depth, risk, deliverables, and whether the adviser also supports implementation. Scallar provides a scope-based quote after reviewing those factors.
Both models are used. Fixed project pricing suits a bounded assessment or roadmap, time-based work can suit uncertain discovery, and a retainer can suit recurring advisory when responsibilities and outputs are clear.
It should state the decision, systems and teams in scope, evidence required, workshops, assessment depth, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, client responsibilities, commercial model, and change conditions.
Yes. A small business can begin with one platform decision, integration plan, current-state assessment, vendor review, or short roadmap instead of a broad enterprise programme.
Only when the proposal says so. Strategy, architecture, procurement support, project governance, implementation, migration, testing, and training should be shown as separate scope elements.
