texte = I'm curious too because while I hear a lot about outsourcing, I also hear that there can be problems. How do you ensure that client data and proprietary code is protected when you work on it and that you and/or your programmers don't try to cut me out? I'm not terribly worried about this because some of it can be worked around by sharing on limited bits of code, using dummy data for development, working piecemeal, but all of these things increase the burden of outsourcing. So how is the balance struck for limiting risk while using cheap labor? Is there a code and money escrow service to resolve some of these "trust" issues? What sort of reputation do you have at stake? Do you have impeccable client references?
