> IBM isn't a bad choice. It's a major step up from Indian firms in terms of both price and quality. It has significant in-house technology to leverage. It's a safe choice. It will usually do better than in-house IT. Having been there, I can say that IBM is no different than the other Indian tech firms like Infosys, Wipro, HCL and other. Infact, there is a rotating door of employees among IBM and other Indian firms. 1. Since the last 5 years, IBM has more employees in India than in the US or any other country [1] 2. Secondly IBM pays more that the Indian companies in India to poach employees but shortchange their US counterparts. [2] Infact, the only difference between IBM and other firms is that the initial sales procoess is handled by American counterparts. Once the sales piece is done and the actual project starts, it is replaced by the offshore team.
