Typical Projects Costs

Design to Value

For integrated projects, iPOV strongly prefers to apply a design to value approach. iPOV typically knows more about its large toolkit of eLearning solutions, while the client typically knows which content has the greatest business value. By working together, iPOV and the client can jointly identify the combination of content and eLearning tools that will make the best use of the client's budget. By combining their distinctive competencies, iPOV and the client can maximize the 'bang for the buck'. The following table lists some of the specialized services that often arise in these types of projects:

Disclaimers:

• These rates are intended to serve as examples to illustrate iPOV's approach to pricing. For medium to large projects (i.e. more than 2 hours of video), we caution against simply multiplying the length of the raw video clips by these unit prices. That will generate an artificially high price. Effective application of iPOV's design-to-value approach, plus volume discounts, almost always results in a significantly lower final price.
• Prices as of 3/27/08 - subject to change without notice and subject to iPOV's standard terms and conditions at date of agreement.
• iPOV applies lean manufacturing techniques to eLearning production. That's why we can publish many of our unit production prices. However, for complete price quotes, please contact sales@ipov.net.
