OK, I have amended the money page to remove this until we have had
some discussion about this. Here is the text so that we don't loose it :

The PanEris Way Discount

To qualify for the PanEris Way Discount a customer
needs to sign up to the way we work.

The discount is graduated according to how many of the
following criteria are met:

• PMS system used for project planning by customer
  
• Project initiated from http://www.paneris.co.uk/
  
• Invoices accepted on web
  
• All project related email posted from site.
  
• All documents kept on site
  
• Documents uploaded to site by customer
  

This is just a reallocation of the management fee,
that normally goes to the project leader.
Essentially a customer can be paid if they do some of the
administative work.

The main reason why I don't like this is the difficulty in administrating
this discount. How do we measure how much of the above has been done by
the customer (as a percentage) and how much of the management fee relates
to the above? We can dangle this as a carrot to some customers, but the
amount of money involved is less than 8% of the total cost (which is the
full amount of the management fee, and I don't think any leaders out there
would like to see all that money go) and we can't put a total figure on
it until after the project has been completed.

And to a large extent I think that we will get data on Paneris and the PMS
if we fill these in - goodness only knows how some people would use our
systems :-)

Does anyone else have an opinion?
