This seems to be a smallish local copy that Vystar chose to invest in. I guess the investment gets them free services or something but it obviously wasn't a good deal for them. There isn't a lot of info on what they actually provide and they appear to be a mostly remote company. Regulations could keep the data in the US, so they my be forced to use people in the US but they appear to use contractors for development.

You would be surprised at how stupid a lot of developers are. They may know how to write some code but if you ask them to think outside of the box, most of them can't. Offshore resources are full of people like this. I ask very few programming questions in interviews and stick to open ended stuff to find out if they have any problem solving skills at all. I don't want people who I have to basically document everything in so much detail that I could just write the code myself faster.

There were a few security risks that affected a lot of software recently but not sure what exactly you are referencing. Biggest problem in IT is all these companies try to cheap out and outsource everything. I get paid well because of this but most of the companies don't have anyone on their payroll that actually knows what is going on and can support the systems. Everything is being run through other companies and adding offshore makes it even worse. Quality isn't kept and even the outsourcing companies can't keep the people that get trained and they jump somewhere else quickly.

When problems happen they have to call someone else to fix it. Cloud is also making it worse for that side but is great for a lot of things.
