Pricing questions

Do you know of any cheaper alternatives?

Our engagements can go as low as $5k and are broken into chunks to help you budget. We ensure that everything we do for you adds value.

Why spend money on consulting when I can buy a ready-made solution?

If it's ready-made, other people have it, so it's not a valuable differentiator. Ready-made solutions are building blocks in your architecture.

Why get help when I can just build?

Building something is often an expensive way to see if you're right. We'll help you focus on value, build the right thing, and avoid a costly science experiment.

Can’t my internal people handle this?

We're here to ensure they can. Remember, this type of work isn’t their day job.

I already have your skills, why buy your help?

Skills are one piece of the puzzle. We bring the experience, exposure, and perspective that enhances your competencies and accelerates your progress.

I have a tech firm. Shouldn’t they handle this?

Tech firms are deep experts in their area, staffed by professionals who will admit their blind spots. We specialize in the whole breadth of the digital journey, and our efforts help teams succeed together.

What if I don’t have time for consulting?

In technology, nothing’s slower or costlier than ambiguity. Next Mile expertise accelerates your program’s expensive design and build phases by being deliberate with its decision phases.

Can't one company just do everything?

One-stop strategy/design/build shops can make sense, but there's usually a critical piece that requires non-core capability. We'll help you through it.

Take the smartest route with confidence

When you’re at a digital crossroads, Next Mile maps your journey forward.
