Nexus Model Architecture Pricing | Van Rij Data Partners

Executive Summary

The Nexus Model Architecture operates on a value-based pricing model designed to align with enterprise budgets while delivering rapid ROI. Pricing is structured around three core components: platform subscription, implementation services, and optional advanced features. This model ensures organizations only pay for what they use, with predictable costs and clear value alignment.

Pricing Philosophy

Value-Driven: Pricing reflects the business value delivered (time savings, revenue impact)
Scalable: Costs grow with usage and value, not linearly with complexity
Transparent: Clear, predictable pricing with no hidden fees
ROI-Focused: Designed for 6-12 month payback period

ROI Calculator

Based on typical implementations:

Assumptions

Current: 8 weeks/source, €75/hour developer rate, 2 developers
NMA: 5 days/source, €75/hour, 1 developer
10 sources/year
Platform: Professional tier (€90K annual)

Year 1 Costs

Implementation: €150K (full rollout)
Platform: €90K
Total: €240K

Year 1 Savings

Integration time: 80 weeks → 10 weeks = 70 weeks saved
Developer cost: 70 weeks × 40 hours × €75 = €210,000 saved
Maintenance: 50% reduction = €50,000 saved
Total savings: €260,000

Net Year 1: €20K profit

Year 2+

Platform: €90K annual
Ongoing savings: €260K annual
Net Year 2+: €170K annual profit

Payback Period: ~11 months

Enterprise Custom Pricing

For organizations with >50 sources or complex requirements:

Volume Discounts: 20-30% off for annual prepayment
Bundled Services: Implementation + platform + support packages
Strategic Partnerships: Custom pricing for multi-year commitments
Industry Templates: Reduced implementation for standard industries (telecom, finance)

Contract Structure

12-month minimum commitment (annual billing)
Month-to-month after year 1 (no long-term lock-in)
90-day notice for cancellation
Success-based SLAs (performance guarantees)
Flexible scaling: Add sources anytime, prorated billing

Why This Model Works

Predictable costs: Fixed annual subscription + clear service pricing
Aligned incentives: We succeed when you succeed
Low risk: Month-to-month after year 1, ROI guarantees
Scalable: Costs grow with value delivered, not arbitrarily
Transparent: No hidden fees, clear ROI calculations
