Straight answers to fair questions
How we scope, price, staff and support work. If your question is not covered here, ask us and we will answer it plainly.
General questions
What does MIVIRI Technologies actually do?
We're a full service technology partner. Teams hire us to build AI systems, custom software, and websites. Migrate and run cloud infrastructure. Secure their systems. Turn data into dashboards. And grow demand through marketing and branding. You can engage one service or a combined team.
How do projects typically start?
With a free consultation. We spend 30 to 45 minutes understanding your goals, then send a short proposal with scope, timeline, and a fixed or sprint based price. No obligation, and you keep the recommendations either way.
How much does a project cost?
Small engagements (audits, landing pages, AI pilots) typically start in the low five figures. Larger platforms are priced per sprint after discovery. Every proposal shows exactly what you're paying for. We don't do vague estimates.
Can you work with our in house team?
Yes, and we prefer it. We regularly embed with internal engineering and marketing teams, follow your workflows, and hand over documented, maintainable work your team can own.
Do you offer support after launch?
Every project includes a warranty period, and most clients continue with a monthly support and optimization plan covering monitoring, updates, security patches, and a prioritized improvement backlog.
Is our data safe with you?
We sign NDAs before discovery, follow least privilege access to your systems, and never use your data to train models without written consent. Security review is part of our definition of done on every project.
Questions about each service
Artificial Intelligence
We're not sure where AI fits in our business. Can you help us figure that out?
That's exactly what our AI consulting engagement is for. We map your processes, estimate the cost and payback of each candidate use case, and give you a ranked roadmap. If nothing clears the bar, we tell you that too.
Will our data be used to train public models?
No. We architect around your data boundary. Private endpoints, your cloud tenancy where required, and written agreements that your data is never used for training without explicit consent.
How long does a first AI project take?
A scoped pilot typically ships in 4 to 8 weeks: one process, one measurable target, production grade from day one so a successful pilot can scale instead of being rebuilt.
ERP Solutions
Which ERP platform should we choose?
It depends on your size, sector, and what you already run. Zoho suits smaller teams wanting breadth at low cost. NetSuite fits growing mid market finance operations. Salesforce leads where the customer relationship is the core process. Odoo is strong when you need heavy customization on a budget. Microsoft 365 and Dynamics make sense if your business already lives in that ecosystem. We assess and recommend. Including telling you to stay put if switching won't pay for itself.
How long does an ERP implementation take?
A focused single module rollout typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. A multi department implementation with data migration and integrations is usually 3 to 6 months. We phase delivery so you get working modules early rather than waiting for one big launch.
Can you take over an ERP someone else implemented?
Yes, and it's common. We start with a paid audit of the current configuration, data quality, and customizations, then give you a prioritized plan. You keep the audit whether or not you continue with us.
What happens to our data during migration?
Nothing is moved without a reconciliation report. We migrate into a test environment first, you verify the numbers against your existing system, and only then do we run the live cutover. Scheduled outside your busy period.
Do you provide ongoing support after go live?
Yes. Most clients continue on a managed plan covering administration, upgrades, new user onboarding, and enhancement requests. With response times agreed in writing.
Software Development
Fixed price or time and materials?
Both, honestly scoped. Discovery produces a fixed price plan for well defined work. Evolving products run on sprint based pricing with a backlog you control and can stop at any sprint boundary.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a paid audit. Architecture, security, test coverage, deployment. Then a stabilization plan before adding features. You get the audit report whether or not you continue with us.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP assignment, your repositories from day one, no license fees back to us.
Web Development
How long does a website project take?
A focused marketing site ships in 3 to 6 weeks. Ecommerce and portals typically run 6 to 12 weeks depending on integrations. You see the design direction in week one.
Can we edit content ourselves after launch?
Yes. We wire content to an editing workflow that fits your team, from structured data files to a full headless CMS, and train your team before handover.
Do you migrate existing sites without losing SEO?
Yes. We map every URL, preserve or redirect rankings bearing pages, and monitor Search Console through the cutover. SEO protection is part of the migration checklist, not an afterthought.
Cloud Services
Can you migrate us without taking systems offline?
Yes. That's the default plan, not a premium option. We run parallel environments, migrate in phases, and schedule cutovers inside your quiet windows with tested rollback at each stage.
We're overspending on cloud. Where do you start?
With a spend audit: two weeks, read only access, and a report of concrete savings ranked by effort. Most clients find 20 to 40%. The audit pays for itself or it's free.
Do you offer ongoing management?
Yes. Managed cloud plans cover monitoring, patching, incident response, and a monthly optimization review. With response times in writing.
Cyber Security
Is penetration testing safe for our production systems?
Yes. Scope, methods, and timing are agreed in writing before we start, destructive techniques are excluded, and testing is scheduled around your business hours with a live abort channel.
How often should we test?
At minimum annually and after major changes. Most clients run an annual full test plus quarterly automated scanning. We'll recommend a cadence based on your risk profile, not our revenue.
Can you help after a security incident?
Yes. We help contain, investigate, and recover, then harden what failed. If you're mid incident now, contact us directly rather than filling in a form.
Data & Analytics
Our data is a mess across six systems. Is that a problem?
It's the normal starting point. The first phase of every engagement is mapping sources and fixing quality at the pipeline level. You don't need clean data to start, you need it to finish.
Power BI or Tableau?
Usually whichever your team already licenses. Where you're choosing fresh, Power BI wins on Microsoft stack cost, Tableau on visual analytics depth. We'll recommend based on your stack and users.
How long until we see the first dashboard?
A first working dashboard on live data typically lands in 3 to 4 weeks. We ship one decision critical view early rather than a big bang reveal months later.
Digital Marketing
How long before SEO shows results?
Technical fixes often move rankings within weeks. Competitive content programs take 3 to 6 months to compound. We set milestone expectations in the proposal so you can hold us to them.
Do you require long contracts?
No. Programs run month to month after an initial 3-month foundation phase. We keep clients with results, not lock ins.
Can you work alongside our in house marketer?
Ideal, actually. We handle the specialist work. Technical SEO, paid ops, analytics. While your team keeps the brand voice and customer knowledge.
Branding
How long does a rebrand take?
Strategy and identity typically run 6 to 10 weeks. Full rollout depends on how many touchpoints you have. We plan the rollout so nothing customer facing looks half changed.
We just need a logo. Is that too small?
We take focused engagements. But a logo without positioning is decoration. Our smallest package pairs a compact strategy sprint with the identity, so the design decisions have reasons.
What do we receive at the end?
Every file in every format, the brand guidelines document, and the working files. You own all of it outright.
Creative Services
Can you work within our existing brand?
Yes. Most creative engagements extend an existing identity. We follow your guidelines where they exist and quietly document the gaps where they don't.
Do you do one off projects or ongoing retainers?
Both. One off projects (a deck, a video, a site design) are fixed price. Teams with steady needs use a monthly creative retainer with a rolling backlog.
How does UI/UX design connect to development?
Designers and engineers work in the same sprint. Designs are specified against the real component library, so what you approve is what ships.
Start the conversation
Still have a question?
The form goes to a senior engineer, not a ticket queue. Ask anything, including whether the idea is a good one.
