You should see time for “Project Management” listed in your quote. If it’s not listed separately, it’s probably built into the quote. At first, you might balk at more overhead, but a well-managed project will save you money in the long run.
Ask: Will I have a specific project manager assigned to my project? What is this person’s experience level?
Ask to meet your project manager in person. Make sure you like their personality and trust their expertise, as you will be working very closely with this person over the duration of the project.
Insist that this person be at all critical meetings over the course of the project. For the most successful project, assign someone to manage the process on your side and to communicate regularly with the Partner.
Make sure the proposal clearly states who is responsible for what - on your side and the Partner’s side.
For example, who will do the data extraction from your current system to enter into your new system? If the Partner expects to receive the data from you and finds out you cannot provide it, he may charge you for extra billable hours.
Clarifying expectations upfront saves you both grief and dollars as the project moves forward.
