Your company must have very strong cash reserves to support the model you describe (especially on big programmes, like a data warehouse or ERP rollout).

btw, "no bugs or data issues" - good luck with that one.

btw, imho, the £3 is for the service, not the software - they should not be confused.
We have a lot of existing customers and charge per customer. Can't go into details about the exact nature of the work I'm doing, but, like any application used by hundreds of customers Europe-wide, correct data is a must.
