Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services, process, pricing, and technology solutions

Services

What services does Techbant provide?

We specialize in four core areas: AI & Machine Learning (custom model development, predictive analytics), IT Architecture (cloud migration, system design, DevOps), Cybersecurity (zero trust security, compliance, threat detection), and Marketing Technology (automation platforms, lead generation). Each service is tailored to your specific business needs and technical environment.

Do you work with companies of all sizes?

Yes, we serve organizations from growing startups to large enterprises. Our solutions scale based on your needs—whether you're looking for strategic consulting, hands-on implementation, or ongoing managed services. We adapt our approach to fit your budget, timeline, and organizational structure.

What industries do you serve?

We have deep expertise across Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Technology & SaaS, Retail & E-Commerce, Manufacturing, and Professional Services. While we specialize in these sectors, our technology solutions and methodologies apply to any industry looking to leverage AI and modern technology.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Absolutely. We prioritize integration with your current technology stack including CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), databases, and third-party applications. Our solutions are designed to enhance your existing infrastructure, not replace it unnecessarily.

Do you provide ongoing support after implementation?

Yes, we offer flexible support models including managed services, on-demand support, and training programs. Post-implementation, we provide documentation, knowledge transfer, and can continue as your technology partner for optimization, scaling, and new initiatives.

Process & Timeline

What is your typical project process?

We follow a proven four-phase approach: 1) Discovery & Assessment (2-3 weeks) - understanding your needs, current state, and goals. 2) Strategy & Design (2-4 weeks) - architecture planning and solution design. 3) Development & Testing (4-12 weeks) - agile implementation with continuous feedback. 4) Deployment & Support - production launch, training, and ongoing optimization. Timeline varies based on project scope.

How long does a typical engagement take?

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope. Strategic consulting engagements may be 2-4 weeks. Implementation projects typically range from 3-6 months. Large-scale transformations can extend 9-12 months. We provide detailed timelines during the discovery phase and use agile methodologies to deliver value incrementally.

How do you handle project communication?

We assign a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact. You'll receive weekly status updates, monthly executive summaries, and access to our project management platform for real-time visibility. We schedule regular check-ins and adapt our communication cadence to your preferences.

Can we start with a pilot or proof of concept?

Yes! We often recommend starting with a focused pilot to validate approach, demonstrate value, and build confidence before full-scale implementation. Pilots typically last 4-8 weeks and focus on a specific use case or department. Successful pilots can then be expanded across the organization.

What happens if project requirements change?

We use agile methodologies specifically to accommodate evolving requirements. Changes are managed through a formal change control process that assesses impact on timeline, budget, and scope. We build flexibility into our engagements and work collaboratively to adjust as business needs shift.

Pricing & Investment

How is your pricing structured?

We offer flexible engagement models: Fixed Price for well-defined projects with clear scope and deliverables. Time & Materials for exploratory work or evolving requirements, billed hourly or daily. Retainer for ongoing support and services with monthly commitments. Value-Based for strategic initiatives tied to business outcomes. We'll recommend the model that best fits your situation.

Do you provide free consultations?

Yes, we offer complimentary initial consultations (typically 30-60 minutes) to understand your challenges, discuss potential solutions, and determine if we're a good fit. For more detailed assessments, we can provide a scoped evaluation as a separate engagement.

What factors affect project cost?

Several factors influence pricing: project scope and complexity, timeline and urgency, required technologies and integrations, team size and expertise level, and geographic considerations for on-site work. We provide transparent, detailed estimates during the proposal phase with clear assumptions and exclusions.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for larger engagements we structure payments in milestones tied to deliverables. Typical structure includes an initial deposit, progress payments at defined milestones, and final payment upon completion. For retainer agreements, we offer monthly billing with flexible commitment terms.

How do you ensure ROI on technology investments?

We establish clear success metrics during the discovery phase and track progress throughout the engagement. This includes both technical metrics (performance, uptime, security) and business outcomes (cost savings, revenue impact, efficiency gains). We provide ROI reporting and work to ensure investments deliver measurable value.

Technology & Tools

What technologies and platforms do you work with?

We're technology-agnostic and work with leading platforms across categories: Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), AI/ML (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), DevOps (Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform), Security (CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, Okta), and Marketing (HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce). We recommend technologies based on your specific needs, not vendor preferences.

Do you build custom AI models or use off-the-shelf solutions?

Both, depending on your needs. For common use cases, we may leverage proven off-the-shelf solutions or pre-trained models, customized to your data. For unique requirements, we develop custom AI models from scratch. We'll recommend the approach that balances effectiveness, time-to-value, and cost.

Can you work in our preferred cloud platform?

Yes, we have certified experts across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. We can also design multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud architectures if needed. Our infrastructure-as-code approach makes solutions portable across cloud providers.

How do you stay current with rapidly evolving technology?

Our team maintains active certifications, participates in technology communities, and allocates dedicated time for learning and experimentation. We regularly evaluate emerging technologies and maintain relationships with technology vendors. This ensures we bring cutting-edge yet proven solutions to clients.

Do you provide training on the solutions you implement?

Yes, knowledge transfer is a key component of every engagement. We provide customized training for technical teams and end-users, comprehensive documentation, video tutorials, and ongoing support during the transition period. Our goal is to make your team self-sufficient.

Security & Compliance

How do you ensure data security and privacy?

Security is built into every phase of our process. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, secure development practices, and regular security audits. We sign NDAs, follow zero-trust principles, and can work within your security policies and requirements.

Are you compliant with industry regulations?

We have extensive experience with compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and industry-specific regulations. We can design and implement solutions that meet your compliance requirements and assist with audit preparation.

How do you handle sensitive data during projects?

We follow strict data handling protocols: using anonymized or synthetic data when possible, implementing data access controls, encrypting data at rest and in transit, and maintaining audit logs. We can also work within your infrastructure to minimize data movement.

What is your approach to intellectual property?

All custom work products, including code, documentation, and models, belong to you upon project completion and final payment. We respect your IP and sign appropriate agreements. We maintain separate repositories for client work and do not reuse proprietary code across clients.

Do you have cyber insurance?

Yes, we maintain comprehensive cyber liability insurance and professional liability (E&O) insurance. We can provide certificates of insurance and ensure coverage levels meet your requirements for vendor relationships.
