It did? I thought it was generally accepted that outsourcing "IT" didn't really work out well.
- roel_v 15y agoThat hasn't been reported on as widely in the mainstream press as the wave of moving work abroad a decade ago. It will take a time for the message to settle among the broad public.
- blrgeek 15y agoOutsourcing != offshoring. Notice GE GM BT Verizon etc don't have huge IT teams anymore? That's outsourcing. And it certainly worked. For many basic IT services even ofshoring works well enough. Jury is out on offshored product development though.
