As an "average" the rate of $137.50 sounds about right though for more specialized skills and experience, rates are higher.

Dear Matthew,
Did read your article. Irrespective of what the currency is (CAD, AUD, NZD. USD), yes... there is a demand for BI, EPM, CPM, Data warehouse consultants in the Asia Pacific region - especially in the Telco, Banking, Insurance and Health industry.
The challenges are many... (so before one charges - high or low $) one needs to keep some of the following in mind, in order to ensure a success from this engagement
x - customer to articulate his / her business rules and end game (not done well)
x - consultant to have a good understanding of the industry the client operates in (many know the technicalities of the product / software but not the industry and the legal / fiscal changes happening)
x - stakeholders / change management ( biggest hurdle)
x - scope of the engagement, $$ and time frames.(before entering into a rate per hour... understand the politics and competencies of the client's staff - failing which your hourly rate will be short lived !!)
Good luck
regards

Customer is not expected to articulate the requirements very well. It is up to the consultants to find the 'real' requirements and provide a suitable solution.
ReplyDeleteI agree that scope creep, change management are major hurdles on the way. But we can certainly make politically correct statements that would enable the client appreciate the reasons for the application development - both methodology and end results.
Most times I work through the difficulties by providing suitable functional prototypes using a smaller data set - that is client provided - so that the client is able to see what he is likely to get.
We have managed some success in this way and hopefully, should continue in the same vein - not that the projects have not failed for very different and some time illogical reasons - and hope to achieve more success percentages than we have so far done.
Best regards
