Like some other observers, I was a bit nonplussed when I saw results from a Robert Half Technology survey that indicated just 6 percent of U.S. companies send work offshore. While the number did rise to 11 percent for companies with at least 500 employees, both numbers seemed far too low based on the results of other surveys.
CIO Insight blogger Brian Watson, for instance, points out that a spring 2007 survey conducted by his publication found that 45 percent of respondents had worked with offshore services providers in 2006 or planned to do so in 2007.
