ICHEC offers a Proof-of-Concept approach that allows for free consultation to help you see the benefits for your business. All ICHEC projects are undertaken at a fixed cost with clearly agreed deliverables at the outset ensuring very competitive rates. This enables customers to make a thorough cost-benefit analysis before the work starts. All projects are carefully specified in consultation with the client before any work starts. This approach ensures that client expectations are met both in terms of cost and of business benefits.

These options include one-off and periodic use of facilities, fixed-price developments and long-term support. All projects are managed using the PRINCE2 framework by qualified practitioners.
