As I see it, this is a job we can do. It's well within our capabilities. The only stumbling block is the price. I'll say. They're asking us to do something for a price which, quite frankly, for the work involved on our side just isn't realistic. Yes, but you're assuming that we've got to start from scratch and that's not actually the case. It's not as pricey a job as you think. There's no need to reinvent the wheel, here. We can just take an existing piece of software and rework it. You say that, but I know what these projects are like. You imagine it's all going to be plain sailing, but then you inevitably run into one problem after another and before you know it, the costs have spiralled out of control. Of course there would be teething problems. There are with any project. And of course we would have to cost that in. But I'm sure we can find some middle ground with them. OK, but if it all goes pear-shaped, don't say I didn't warn you. |
