Availability, Locations, Price, Contracts

Availability, according to my and my clients’ plans respectively the current contract situation:

August 2008 (flexible)

Possible project locations

 (first priority):

Germany: Momentarily Munich ONLY (residence); Europe: Austria, France, Italy, Swiss; Southeast Asia: preferably Singapore, Hong Kong; USA: preferably AZ, CA, FL, OR, WA, N.Y.C.; Canada: preferably AB, BC, Australia, New Zealand & Pacific regions.

Rates, Pricing, Discounts and travel expense

(second priority):

I cannot specify a rate here, because the price is dependent on a) the location, b) the length of the project and c) the requirements.  My guideline is the official price list of SAP for Europe and USA minus a certain percentage depending on the circumstances.I offer great discounts for long-term projects, where also travel expense are usually covered by the rate already because I then act like a local resident.

Contracts through third-parties:

I’d preferably have the contract with my clients directly unless the clients wishes or the situation requires to put a third-party-company in between. This way, the price and handling is much better for both sides. Whenever neccessary, I know a couple of good consulting companies, which I consider as my partners.

Human resource agents, Commission:

I am very willing to appreciate the effort of finding,  arranging or informing me about the right project to the right time by paying a fair commission, preferably on a one-time-basis, paid from by income of the first couple of project invoices.
