DataCert Re-Enforces Flexible Pricing Options for its Legal Operations Management Solutions
Flexible pricing plan helps corporate legal departments address difficult market conditions
HOUSTON, Nov. 2, 2009 - DataCert, Inc., the leading global provider of legal operations management solutions, today announced the formalization of its Flexible Pricing Plan, which re-enforces the alternative pricing options that DataCert has offered its clients for years. This plan is aimed at corporate legal departments looking for maximum pricing flexibility when purchasing legal operations management solutions.
"We want to ensure the marketplace understands that DataCert has, and will continue to offer, flexible pricing options to help clients purchase necessary legal operations management solutions, even during tough market conditions," stated Jim Tallman, president and chief executive officer, DataCert. "When funding a project such as the implementation of one of our solutions, every client has unique business conditions and priorities they're trying to address, and we have a long history of offering our clients complete flexibility as to how they pay for their DataCert solutions, including innovative pricing arrangements and payment terms."
Potential DataCert pricing models include value-based pricing, where a percentage of the savings obtained from utilizing the solution is used to pay for the project, and service-based pricing, where the cost of implementation and support is distributed to the corporate legal department and their legal service providers based on the services they consume. "Value received is our focus and we strongly believe that for clients to receive outstanding service and a quick return on their investment in our solutions is the most important thing," said Tallman.
Yet another pricing option offered by DataCert entails sharing the risk of payback with the client by tying client fees to the return on investment (ROI) they achieve with their DataCert solution. "After years of successful implementations with the world's leading legal departments, we are able to accurately quantify the returns our clients achieve with our solutions and can successfully tie these results to the fees our clients pay," continued Tallman. "Recognizing the challenging market conditions for our clients and offering this program demonstrates how confident we are in the value our solutions provide our clients."
With the Flexible Pricing Plan, DataCert has formalized the most commonly chosen and proven pricing arrangements, including those described above, focusing on ensuring that clients are not constrained based on budgets or business needs. Similar to the alternative fee arrangements corporate legal departments implement with their legal vendors, DataCert's Flexible Pricing Plan enables its clients to choose the pricing arrangement that best helps them achieve their business objectives.
"We believe that there are no right or wrong pricing models; rather, it's simply a matter of client preference," Tallman concluded.
