What Does Project Management Mean to Koala Networks?
We started out company with the dream of doing things differently. We saw that the industry was unhealthy; that MSP contracts often only favored one party (the servicer); that clients started to become jaded and confused over what this relationship should look like. So, we wrote down our values and started sharing them with business owners, and we found that our goals almost always aligned with theirs.
Transparent
Equitable
Flexible
Everything we do starts with with transparency. When we deliver an initial proposal, we are extremely clear on the costs associated with work and we provide you with links to the product pages. When it comes time to order, you will always know the actual cost of the hardware, software or service we are implementing because you actually purchase it--we refuse to resell anything. Included in that proposal is an estimate of labor as well.
​
Our second goal when working with clients is doing things fairly. Any work we do, we want it to be equitable to both the client and to our company, and the best way to do that is to bill by the hour and work really fast! When quoting a project, our time estimates are just that: estimates. If it takes less time to complete a project, you don't still get billed for the full initial estimate. To us, that's fair.
​
Lastly, we try to remain flexible. Once we "break ground" and the client starts to see the project unfold, new design ideas often come to their mind. They often want more, but sometimes they want less. We work with them to get new product ordered as quickly as possible or unneeded product sent back within the return windows. As advocates of your business, we are actively mindful of your bottom line.
