IMOP am not justifying the 200m .<br><br>Imelda vs Nokia<br><br>for a simple job like;<br><br>an Ivoice response and may be an auto answering machine a bible and quran,with DVD /TV remote control application.<br>
<br>Imeldas company can get the job done by even 1/4 of 2m for obvius reasons<br>1.Imelda is not a multinational <br>2.she is hardly known<br>3.I dont expect her to gain much from the application iin terms of quick returns<br>
<br>Nokia<br><br>1.for evry 3 phones 2 are nokia<br>so if we have around 20 million phones in kenya 14.5 or so are nokia..<br><br>which means they got enough  what is a dream to imelda is pocket change for nokia<br><br>if i charge them a lower or what many call reasonable they aoutomatically disqualify me as joker and having substardard applications.<br>
<br>so the problem is NOKIA subcontracting direct, have a diffrent firm to do the contracts with that in kenya you will av all you want at so called reasonable price.<br><br>mpesa mmmmmmhh wish I invented it ,knowing what i know would have sold it at 1.99....billion.<br>
<br>wonder if safcom having what they av now could call it crazy<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 2:55 PM, Phares Kariuki <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:pkariuki@gmail.com">pkariuki@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

The reason being, you should be able to price a product for the amount of resources it will consume (time is one of these). Their requirement for that particular piece of software should go into it. If they have support requirements, quote separately for this. At the end of the day, Nokia have a budget when putting together a request for proposal. The reason very few software development companies have stood the test of time in Kenya is, in my limited opinion, due to such opportunistic approaches. It&#39;s good for the short term, but in the long run, not necessarily the best as you quickly get the reputation of a profiteer and lose repeat business...</div>
