Estimates, constructed with the customer, anticipated the system development to take 3-4 months and cost ~$15,000. The DunnCo system was designed, developed and delivered on an hourly rate basis in 5-6 weeks for less than $7,000! Client was so happy that they asked about doing a system for their sister company; they had previously planned to buy a semi-custom pre-built system for their sister firm, but changed their minds when they saw that they could get a custom windowed interface system for similar cost as a pre-built DOS system!
