The costs associated with data take on are only applicable if you have data which you want imported into the system when you start, if you are a new company then you could start with a blank sheet, but if you have been trading for a while then there is always an element of data take on, whether it is just your customers or products or everything, we usually discuss this at the discovery process. |
An explanation of the different charges is shown below:
...
Build Import
...
Preparing the data output from your system.
If we are involved in obtaining data from your system or you are supplying raw data from your system then we would charge for this level of import work, this also included building the logic imports and then importing into the system.
This also usually involves two imports of your data as we have no idea whether we will get it right first time. In general this method of importing will take somewhere between 20-40 working days to complete.
...
Logic Import
...
We will provide import files in excel format which the customer completes as much as they can.
Ontech then build the import routine, adding in required fields, and mandatory data that the customer could not supply.
If you supply all the fields then we would not charge this, we would begin at Direct Import.
This takes us slightly longer to build the import, once done you will have the ability to update the source spreadsheets before we import the data to the live system. Generally this building of logic will take upto 15 working days to complete.
...
Direct Import
This imports the completed initial import files with any modifications needed in the previous stage.

...
Additional Imports
...
If we import the data and then the customer provides us more data to import as long as there are no changes to the logic / direct import then this would be the additional charge.
...
Subsequent Changes
...
If we have to alter the import routines after the initial import then we would charge for the time take to carry out this work
Due to the the commerce level of analysis for both customers and products, you may find this takes considerable additional time to populate these mandatory fields.
