With sensitive salary and wage information, bank and direct deposit accounts, Social Security numbers and other personal information in play, the stakes are high. This guide — and the accompanying spreadsheet — from TechRepublic Premium will help you ...

Quality assurance refers to the processes being used to manage the project and to build the deliverables. This is in contrast to quality control, which refers to the activities used to create the deliverables. Because you are not responsible for the creation of the deliverables (quality control), you need to be comfortable that the outsourcer ...
