You're thinking about this wrong. Bangalore office is busy today with "strategic projects". No-one bats an eyelid when you expense $150 of programming help on your corporate card. Big companies have people use unofficial resource channels to get stuff done all the time.

That still leaves the problem of sending internal data to outside parties. The accountants may be fine with the programming help, IT certainly shouldn't be.

Interesting. I would really like to know more about those 'strategic projects'.

They're any projects scheduled by someone more senior than you.
