How hard is it to find a reputable and valid online consultation service nowadays? Some may say that it is pretty easy to find a professional to whom they could consult with. However, most of these consulting services are not accredited or worse, they are not even valid. This, most of the times, provides problems to clients, regardless quality advice from the professionals.
No matter how good the advice is, an invalid service remains invalid. Some of you may think that it is not a problem, since an advice is an advice, regardless its legal standing. The problem is, clients would not be able to use the advice as a legal source of information since the legality of the advice itself is in question.
You could go into an online consulting service, pay some amount, consult with the professional, and claim to have a cost-efficient consultation, but you will never know if that service is valid and have a legal standing or not. This forces you to keep the advice to yourself and cannot use it against any, for instance, legal issue.
In some cases, the situation could go even worse. While users have already paid for the service, it has never been delivered to them. Only professionals with integrity could provide the expected services. Problem is, there are many irresponsible consulting vendors that only look for profits without even considering the condition of their paying clients.
OnLive focuses on capitalizing the online consultation service industry. People always need advice for things they face in life, from legal issues to education and career. This is based on the fact that people sometimes still feel inferior in doing various things that they tend to look for advice from professionals in the field.
A student may need to consult with an academic professional when he needs advice on what academic program that he needs to pursue. Meanwhile, a businessman may need to consult with a legal consultant on what he needs to establish to make sure that his business is legally compliant with applicable legislation.
Whilst people are aware that they need to make sure that the online consultant they approach must be legally valid, most of the times they find it difficult to ensure the validity and legality of their consultants. They do not have the way to have the consultant’s, let’s say, license, and the consultants do not have any obligation to show their license to the clients neither. This creates confusion on whether people need to keep pursuing online consultants who are reluctant to show their professional license or not.
Through the introduction of OnLive, this issue of consultant’s validity and legality could be written off easily as the platform is build based on blockchain technology, which enables users to validate the online consulting services they want to approach so that they could be assured that they are dealing with a legitimate consultant. This could boost the quality of advice given, as well as the confidence in both client and consultant.
