That's quite a coincidence because finance directors don't trust IT directors either, according to another survey published by the same firm, Indian outsourcer HCL Technologies, in March.
Don't trust the bean counters, IT directors say. Outsourcing is clearly not just about saving money, as would be obvious to anyone who has taken an outsourcing contract on the promise of hard cash savings only to have them go the way of the old Indian rope trick.
Finance directors, on the other hand, think they're better than anyone else on the board. Like HM Treasury or the East India Company, they think the strings of the capital purse are sanction to order everyone else about.
