BV Commerce Ripped by AliCommerce

According to BV Commerce, AliCommerce is an almost verbatim rip off of BV Commerce. AliCommerce has since went offline. We thought it would be a good idea to help spread the word as we too are developers and obviously look down on this type of behavior. There is an unspoken trust amongst developers as we have a lot of responsibility with access to highly sensitive data and when something like this happens, it not only hurts our relationships on a developer to developer basis but, it is also biting the hand that feeds us. If developers can’t trust each other, then how can we expect our clients to trust us. We frequently have to work together and trust one another to get problems solved in a very fast paced environment so, it is imperative that we keep that unspoken code of trust at the forefront of our daily routine.

To clients and others alike, don’t be afraid to ask for client references and other proof of good business practices… demand them. You can never be too sure with who you’re dealing with. Do the research and be cautious of development farms that outsource their work to shady overseas vendors. Know who you’re doing business with. It will make for a much better experience and a solid return on investment.
