As described in earlier chapters, your Global Treps team would pay for a new website and account through an online provider. Bobby would do most of the customization and programming for the site, but you would consider outsourcing or purchasing services to provide some of the capabilities like accepting donations and developing the short videos on the site. You would also buy a new laptop and Internet access for your three team members abroad, which they could share with their contacts in those countries. You have budgeted $20,000 for outsourced hardware and software. The actives listed in your WBS for outsourced software development include:
