Mode of Engagement
We strive to provide value added services to our clients. Typically, we choose to first understand our client’s needs before proposing a customized set of solutions and a recommended mode of engagement. Frequently used modes include time based retainer where 1st Phase commits a certain number of hours to work on the client’s project and  project based lump sum where 1st Phase perform a defined set of scope with an agreed upon delivery timeline.
