Client Services Value Plan

The Client Services Value Plan is for the client that engages Mark Bruemmer, Inc. for consulting services. The Client Services Value Plan is in effect under the following conditions.

1. A contract agreement is signed between the client and Mark Bruemmer, Inc. to engage the services of Mark Bruemmer, Inc. for three or more consecutive time periods, on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

2. The Client Services Value Plan is voided in the event the contract is terminated prematurely, for whatever reason, per the terms of termination as specified in the written contract agreement.

3. These conditions apply only to each instance of a new client agreement contract signed between Mark Bruemmer, Inc. and a client.

If the above conditions are met, then the client may receive consulting services for one half of the first instance of a time period free of charge.

For example, if a client engages Mark Bruemmer, Inc. for 3 consecutive weeks, at the weekly billing rate, then 50% of the first billable week is free of charge (non-billable) to the client. However, if the engagement is terminated by either party before the conclusion of the client contract agreement, then the Client Services Value Plan is void and the client must pay for all services rendered up to the termination date.

A computational grid is a collection of distributed computing resources, from personal computers to supercomputers, available over a local or wide area network that appear to an end user or application as one large virtual computing system.

Grids support highly compute and data intensive applications including graphical modeling, simulations, image rendering, data mining and statistical reporting for commercial applications in aerospace, automotive, consumer products, engineering services, financial services, insurance, life sciences, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

For business enterprises, computational and data grids harness the power of idle computing resources, such as Central Processing Unit cycles, memory and data storage, to:

1. Improve efficiency and utilization of all computing resources within an enterprise or extended enterprise to meet end user demands.

2. Solve problems that were previously unsolvable due to lack of adequate computing, data or storage resources.

3. Form virtual organizations that collaborate on common problems by enabling them to share applications and data.

4. Tackle very large problems demanding huge computing resources by enabling the aggregation of computing power, storage and other resources.

5. Help lower the total cost of computing by enabling the sharing, efficient optimization and overall management of those computing resources.

Grid computing technology is an emerging application of a utility model of computing resource utilization.

NetMotifs' Professional Services practice engages clients in strategic consulting, project management and technical support of grid deployments.
