8KMiles is an online ecosystem that enables buyers to post projects, hire, manage and pay providers from around the world. Buyers choose 8KMiles for top global talent, comprehensive project management tools, and communication channels. Our patent pending Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) will help buyers protect their Intellectual Property (IP) and enables business continuity.

8KMiles' networking features enable buyers and service providers to build a long-lasting relationship for repeat business and success.

To safeguard buyers' and providers' interest 8KMiles supports escrow projects, meaning a provider receives the payment only after the project is completed to buyer's satisfaction based on established milestones.

8KMiles is targeted at providing an online workplace to maximize value for both buyers and service providers. Some of the unique features include:

• Subscription to Virtual Computing Environments for rapid application development with IP security.
• Increased search ability with complete visibility and control of projects and providers.
• Event- driven workflows and collaboration tools for smooth execution of projects.
• Networking features facilitating communication between users of the 8KMiles community including forum and blog.
