Times are tough, yet consultants still command top prices and often when you engage get them it can be difficult to remove them as they endeavour to make themselves indispensable. You can be paying north of £1000 per day to a top consultancy firm and still receive a junior consultant.

At Compulab it's easy - our fixed day rate is £695 for a senior and experienced consultant. Most of our jobs are based on a fixed price. You know what you want and what you can afford. We provide the price - walk in - do what it says on the tin - walk out leaving you satisfied at an affordable price. Unlike other consultancy firms on the web you can find our prices immediately and with no hidden costs. You can build your quote on this website.

For small companies £695 per day is still not an option. We offer a special package to enable small companies to reach PCI DSS compliance for just £1000!

How do we do it? Consultancy is a mobile profession as a client can be anywhere in the country (or Europe). We have no need for an office or high overheads. We either work on our clients site or the consultant does the rest of the work from home. We have a network of consultants each with their own specialities and wealth of experience.

There's no sales pitch; we tell you what we are good at and if that's what you need, then we deliver it to the standard of a principal consultant of a top four consultancy firm. Our consultants have worked for large banks, large consultancy firms and major blue chip organisations in the UK, Europe and the States. We have no targets, no bureaucracy and no internal politics or pressure. We have no fancy brochures, do not go to expensive trade shows or pay for advertising; with the objective of keeping costs down to just man-hours.
