Technical evaluation of competing bids and contract negotiation.

The Client

Their Challenge

The well-known publisher of educational materials Hampton-Brown of California was evaluating proposals to build an online lesson planner to complement its print publications. The project leaders had received a number of proposals from custom development firms, but lacked the technical experience to evaluate the firms.

Our Solution

Hampton-Brown contracted Ideograph LLC as its trusted partner, to evaluate the proposals for technical viability, cost, and risk.

After narrowing down the field to a single firm, Ideograph LLC used its technical expertise to challenge the firm's time estimates. The analysis helped negotiate the final cost to the client down by $50,000.
