If your FoxPro / Visual FoxPro program is critical to the smooth operation of your company and you don’t have a backup programmer, you are putting the fate of your company in the hands of one person. No matter how healthy, careful, or loyal your programmer is, if for any reason he or she becomes unavailable, you potentially face critical consequences.
Not Having A Backup Programmer Is Risky Business
If you don’t have a backup programmer, you’re taking a serious and unnecessary risk. While there is some cost to bring in a backup programmer, here are two great benefits:
- Your programmer can introduce your system to the backup programmer. This is much more efficient than bringing in a backup programmer when your original programmer is no longer available and your system is down.
- Your programmer doesn’t know everything. When you ask him if he can do a certain program, he may say he can but it could take a very long time. A backup programmer may have already done that type program and be able to deliver it to you quickly.
