Warm Greetings to Ajeva Users around the Globe,
As the coming year approaches, we would like to take this time and send you our gratitude for a wonderful year we had in 2010… and the best of health, wealth and happiness all year round!
Ever since we launched this current beta version of Ajeva, we’ve learned a lot working with the wonderful users we have. Since the past several months, we’ve worked hard on a brand new Ajeva, and we’re now very close to the launch.
Before we launch however, I wanted to write and talk about a few things:
A lot of freelancing sites today are either making it big or barely surviving in the competitive world of outsourcing. There is just a vast number of talents in such a cutthroat world of the online marketplace – from web developers, programmers, graphic designers, writers, to virtual personnel. As usual, doing business in any of these freelancing sites is a hit or miss deal. There are success stories… and there are urban legends. For those who have found the right business relationship, where trust has already been tested, there comes to mind a great concern: Is it time to cut the middleman out?
I dream about a platform for livelihood.
In the past 10 years, I started a computer consulting company, that evolved into a website and graphic design house, and further evolved into a web application development company, with some kick-ass SEO abilities to throw in.
I worked with over 50 ‘providers’ in 14 different countries on nearly 100 projects. I learned as I went – I grew – I suffered – had some failures, and some great successes, but most of all I learned. Maybe global sourcing wasn’t as easy as many said it was – and not all apparent cost benefits are as good in long-term. But the trend was clear. Global sourcing is here to stay, and will only grow as the world continues to shrink.
