Sources & Methodology

We believe in showing our work. Here's how we arrived at these estimates.

[1] Big 4 Consulting Hourly Rates

Based on industry surveys reporting $300-$500/hr for consultants with 3+ years experience. Partners and senior managers bill higher.

[2] ERP Implementation Costs

Mid-market ERP projects range $50,000-$1,000,000 excluding software licenses. 44% of projects experience significant cost overruns.

[3] Data Warehouse Projects

Typical mid-market data warehouse implementations range $75,000-$500,000+ depending on complexity and integration requirements.

[4] Integration & Data Migration

Per-system integration typically costs $15,000-$100,000. Data migration adds $25,000-$150,000+ depending on complexity.

[5] Monthly Retainers

Enterprise managed services and support retainers typically run $10,000-$50,000/month for ongoing maintenance and enhancement work.

Methodology Note

Traditional consulting estimates use conservative mid-range figures from published sources. Actual Big 4 quotes are often higher. We use the midpoint of reported ranges for the calculator. Adder prices are our actual fixed prices with no hidden fees.
