Although my process varies based on the individual client's specific need this will provide a guideline on what to expect

• Initial Consultation
• Analysis
• Project Plan and Cost Estimate
• Implementation
• Testing
• Deployment and Delivery, Asset transfer
• Continued Support and Maintenance

There is no straight answer I can give to this question. All software projects are different. As a general guideline, however, software development is very expensive. You should expect to spend between 30,000 U.S.D. and 5 Million U.S.D. depending on the size and number of programmers required for implementation. You should expect to see a positive R.O.I. within 5 to 10 years for large projects and within 2 years (or less) for a small project.
