  working in a virtual environment.

  employee engagement, morale, and satisfaction.

  of having successful employees in any business as
  it is equally vital for these employees to feel
  appreciated and get motivated to do their best
  every day they show up for work.

  software development market is fiercely
  competitive, it would be wise for a company to
  include confidentiality clauses in contact with
  its IT staff augmentation. This way, the business
  can make sure that its confidential information,
  trade secrets, and intellectual property stay
  secret by preventing it from getting into the
  wrong hands of potential competitors.
