Abstract:
The technology introduced here enables a customer to readily view, and securely connect with, project managers and freelancers who complete projects on behalf of the customer. The customer initially posts a project specification through a crowdsourcing platform. Project managers compete with one another by submitting proposals for the project through a freelancing platform. When a proposal is selected by the customer, the project manager corresponding to the proposal can construct a team that includes one or more freelancers who complete the technology project under the supervision of the project manager. As milestones are completed, the project manager and/or freelancer(s) can be paid from an escrow account maintained by the administrator. Additionally or alternatively, invoices for work completed by the team could be generated and delivered to the customer.
