All right in line with just about any sort of "Enterprise" software. Training and implementation services are downright cheap. Maintenance is the standard 20%.

The last big vendor PO I had to look at put every professional services line item at $300-360/hr with $320 being about average.

Also Palantir's software actually does something more challenging than a lot of enterprise software.

People should go and see what small packages from Oracle, HP, Tibco & IBM cost. It's incredible.

Funny you should mention that. Palantir's main competition in the governmeent, i2, is now IBM.

i2 was selling their software at some fraction of Palantir's and in the DoD space it's basically as ubiquitous as Microsoft Office. Palantir is everywhere, but it doesn't end up being used nearly as much.

Yep, absolutely. This is a perfectly reasonable price for good enterprise software that actually adds value to an organization. (God, I feel like a middle manager just by typing that...).

My company spends tens of millions per year on some really awful enterprise software unfortunately.
