Is the allure of work done overseas fading? Or is it as viable as ever? I can't reconcile conflicting reports.
I got an e-mail today from a PR person suggesting a few "Hot IT Topics For 2008." The e-mail was an inducement to talk with analysts at a consulting firm by the name of Lab49, which the PR person was representing. One of the "hot" IT topics suggested for discussion was this:
The end of offshoring: As costs rise in offshore locations and firms are seeing projects fail, much of the gusto for offshore is fading.
* New thing is rightsourcing, using high quality onsite resources where possible.
