Yes, we do sample/test work done from us free of cost. This will enable you to have a better idea about the quality of our work and at the same time enable us to understand the project better and give you a competitive quote.

What will be your cost of keeping up-to-date the entry?
We believe that that for updating data on regular basis, the best option would be to go for man month rates. We can dedicate any number of full time operators as may be required on a man month rate of US$500 per man month. In such an arrangement, the dedicated operator(s) will work 8 hours a day and 6days a week and we will be able to adjust the number of operators as per your requirement.

Does the data get input by hand or do you scan each document and recover the data digitally?
We do data entry by two ways. If the image is very clear and easy to scan, then we do scanning and after that we digitize the same. In second way, we directly key the data from the hard copy of image itself. Finally this depends upon the client’s requirement.

It’s written on your website that you can make a small pilot project for the customer, how does this work?
Yes, we do pilot projects free of cost. In this approach, we do a small sample work free of cost to enable the company buying our service to have a better idea about the quality of our work. This also helps us in fixing up the exact cost of the work on unit basis.
