Gosh what in interesting thread.
Tell you what I know, you listening Oracle?
Outsourcing your support to cheap shops in India looks good on paper, but do
you really know what goes on behind closed doors?
In order to get these lucrative western world outsourcing deals, some of the
Indian shops have now started to outsource some of their work to even
cheaper African sites without tellin anybody.
Of course in the future the African shops may then outsource to say ....
France ....who may then outsource to Redwood .. who knows.
