What is the Dedicated Business Partner service?
An ongoing working relationship with Michael at Normandin Systems for website work, custom business tools, technical troubleshooting and practical technology advice. We agree the priorities and scope around your business before starting.
What is the proposed price and time commitment?
The indicative annual investment is approximately CAD $20,000 for a proposed commitment of 20 hours per week. This is an inquiry-based offer. The final scope, weekly schedule, time accounting, holiday coverage, applicable taxes, payment schedule and other terms are confirmed in a written proposal before work begins.
Can you build tools for our availability or workflow?
Yes. We can explore availability and scheduling tools, inventory workflows, customer inquiry tools and integrations between existing systems. We review feasibility, required access, testing and the work involved, then agree which tasks fit the partnership priorities and available time.
Can I bring an unusual idea or an after-hours question?
Yes. Bring the unusual idea, even if it starts as a rough sketch or a late-night thought. We agree contact channels, availability and response arrangements together. The proposed weekly time commitment does not include an automatic 24/7 response or emergency guarantee.
How are extra time and other costs handled?
The proposal defines how work, meetings and messages count toward the weekly time, along with scheduling, unused time, holidays and any on-site work. Extra hours, equipment, licences, hosting, travel and other third-party costs are discussed and agreed before commitments are made.
How does this differ from the Technical Partner Membership?
The existing Technical Partner Membership is CAD $299/month plus applicable taxes for two hours of scheduled remote help per monthly billing period. The Dedicated Business Partner is a separate, broader working arrangement with a proposed 20 hours per week and an indicative annual price of approximately CAD $20,000. It starts with a fit discussion and a written proposal.
Does sending an inquiry start a subscription?
No. An inquiry starts a conversation about your business and the work you need. There is no automatic checkout or subscription on this page. We confirm the agreement, payment arrangements and start date before work begins.
