- “We need to show that initial cost of the challenge will be on Appirio on the basis that customer is prepared to schedule a workshop with key members from the customers team to introduce crowdsourcing and launch the first challenge. This launch of a challenge, will help them experience the process and customer can expect 7 designs in 7 days.”
