"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." – Victor Hugo
8KMiles, an online ecosystem of verified professionals and companies for outsourcing of software and other knowledge services over the internet is officially open to users starting today as an invite-only Alpha.
8KMiles is a place for "Real People" to work on "Real Projects" in "Real Time".
You can participate in the Alpha program as a Service Buyer (one who would wants to cost effectively outsource to qualified professionals) or as a Service Provider (one who wants to offer services like programming, testing etc) or as a Project Manager (one who wants to manage the requirements of the Service Buyer using the Service Provider/s from the 8KMiles ecosystem). There will soon be another very interesting user role.
Apart from the primary activities like posting, bidding, contracts, milestones, payments and the unique virtual computing environment, you can also participate in the forums. You can of course check out the help section to know more about the features.
This is an alpha release and would be constantly changing for good. There are very compelling features that would be introduced in the days and weeks to come. There will also be things that need to be fixed. We urge you to provide your feedback to the 8KMiles team.
Behind the 8KMiles application, there is a very dedicated, passionate and user focussed team. You can be assured that you are in safe hands.
We strongly believe the time has come for the 8KMiles idea to take off. We believe equally strongly that you as users are the ones to make it happen.
Let's change the world!!!
- The 8KMiles Team
