One of Paradigma’s prime advantages the customers and strategic partners can benefit from is its extremely competitive and reasonable pricing policy. Are Paradigma’s rates the lowest in the industry? No, because focusing on price alone can cause the quality to suffer. Paradigma’s commitment to quality is among its key focuses, so we would rather justify our prices now than allow the quality to suffer later. Are Paradigma’s rates the highest in the industry? By no means, because we know our services should be cost-effective; and the location of Paradigma software development center in Brazil, Latin America, endows Paradigma with favorable conditions to offer that perfect middle mean where the quality is unsurpassed while the prices are affordable and cost-effective.

By outsourcing to Paradigma, you can cut significantly your project budget or IT costs compared to the cost for the same or similar services in your geographical area due to considerable difference in wages of top-notch IT experts in the USA or Europe and the ones working in Brazil.

We already have established many contracts with foreign companies around the world. In these contracts, we work with open and closed-scope development projects. When working with closed-scope, we agree on a fixed price, with all the contractual guarantee that the project will be completed in time.

Generally, based on a tele-conference discussion we can establish how many people will working on the project; developers and QA specialists.

If desirable, we can also use the customer QA team resources to work directly with our development team. Either one of the developers member or an assigned person will be in charge or the project management.

Once the project is completed if additional help is needed we can offer pricing as a project bases on cost mentioned above or as a bulk of hours that we can determine in advance.

Another way of contracting is by considering hourly rates. The hourly rate ranges between 5 and 28 US$, depending on the tasks to be accomplished, as well as the required skills. For each project the hourly rate is determined during preliminary negotiations with the customer.

• Project Manager, Requirements Manager - US$ 18.00 to 25.00 / hour
• Technical Leader, Architect, Sr DBA, QA Specialist - US$ 15.00 to 20.00 / hour
