I have a question. Let’s say that a Company develops a Concept and hires a Vendor to build the Concept so that the Company can offer it to its clients as a value-added service.

I came across an article this afternoon about rhinos becoming extinct from poachers lopping off their horns. And encroachment of civilization, but mostly the poachers. Extinct is forever, you know. Poof – gone from the universe. Oh well. We’ll always remember you; we captured some good content.
