Re: Informix Consultant Prices

"David Mascorro" <mascorrd@usaa.com> offerred: +Hey! + +We are currently looking into hiring a consultant to help us migrate our +database and applications from Online 5 to Online 7 on our UNIX box. +What's the going rate for Informix consultants these days? Any feedback? Depends where you get the consultant from. Informix typically charges around $250/hour. Other companies doing Informix consulting (the company I work for, for example) may charge less. No matter what you pay, make sure that the person you get not only knows both versions 5 and 7, but has also done some migrations before. It is not uncommon at some consulting outfits for whoever is currently on the beach (i.e. a consultant not on assignment) to be designated an "expert" in what the customer needs. ** Dave Kosenko <davek@summitdata.com> ** Director of Training Services (732) 469-4070 ** Summit Data Group (an Informix Authorized Education Center) ** Find my advice useful?
