Sales Information


Our General Policy

Each potential client receives a brief scope of work detailing the services HSI will provide within a contract. We have developed contracts with hourly and daily fees as well as fixed price contracts. Most of HSI's data conversion and information system development projects are fixed price contracts. Analysis and financial consulting services are provided for an hourly rate that varies with the scope work.

We typically do not commit to any project less than $50,000 and average $250,000 for corporate cliencts. We prefer to work with clients where longer term relationships can be developed.

Data Conversion

Data conversion services and prices are described in the table below. Note that processing times specified apply to jobs of 20 tapes or less. Larger orders may require additional time depending on our existing work-load. Each CD-ROM/DVD we produce is packed in a jewel case with a laser-printed label listing the contents.

 
Through 2009 - Convert old mainframe tapes to CD/DVD for $100 per 3480/3490E cartridge.
