University of California hires India-based IT outsourcer, lays off tech workers

- worker840234 10y agoIt is always very astonishing to read about IT outsourcing stories being driven by a desire to reduce costs. The cost of IT within an organisation is actually not driven by IT itself but by the processes or the setup of the organisation. We live in a globalised world and nothing is as globalised and transportable as IT services, which is why it makes very little sense to try tackling costs by moving around what seems to be having the least difference of costs versus output on a global scale. But then again: I don't have an MBA. Which I somehow figure is not an insult anymore.
