• Cygnet assists Independent Software Vendors to
reduce time to market and cut development costs

stringent time and cost deadlines to complete their
projects without compromising quality and control


A Typical Scenario
• New module / application development
• Estimated to take 5000 hours

= 5.2 resources
6 months


The Challenge
• You need 5-6 developers • Cost of project will be
for this project approx. $400,000
• But what if you have only $80/hr * 5000 hrs
2-3 resources available?
• Will you hire additional • What if your budget is
staff just for 6 months? only $300,000?
• What about additional • Will you ask for
testing, analysis and more budget from
project management management?
resources? • Have you factored in
scope creep?
