Quality of Deliverables
“Failure to complete the project resulted in significant losses of both money and time, and to legal action. An unwillingness to turn over IP or acknowledge responsibility, and a lack of transparency brought their business practices into question and hindered project success further. VirtusLabs has provided a written response.”
