You did a migration without having a contract FIRST? Ay yi yi... I charge more if I go onsite vs. being able to work from my office. I charge even more if T&E aren't included. For my local area, I'm VERY expensive. But companies pay it, because I generally get it right the first time. :) As an international consultant, I'm pretty inexpensive.
The methodology I learned when I first started consulting (in the 1980's) was "butt-leaves-chair - clock starts". Then "butt-returns-to-chair - clock ends". For the most part, I still follow that philosophy. It's all about the value you provide.

Not really sure what/how to charge them. I was thinking of doing a flat rate charge since I didn't think it was fair to charge them an hourly rate while I figured some of the stuff out. They've basically said to send them the bill but I'm not sure what a fair price is. How much should the local market play in determining the price? There isn't anyone in our area that they could find to do the upgrade. I Thanks all! -John This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
