| In combining Open Source software and offshore development, high quality,

| Open Source should always be a part of any outsourced software

| Open source software is the foundation for confidence and trust when
| choosing to outsource software development. It is the catalyst to an
| acceptable answer to the ?what is the worst that can happen? scenario.
| In other words, even if you make the wrong choice in outsource software
| development partner, your code, your infrastructure will still be based
| on Open Source which can be parlayed to different developers much faster
| than completely original code. In the worst case scenario, if the
| software being developed is not Open Source based, it will be much more
| difficult to replace the developers.
