Risks of offshore outsourcing
“I’ve been trying to take a balanced view of outsourcing. On the one hand, I want to acknowledge the market forces that are driving companies to outsource IT services offshore. On the other hand, I want to identify the risks, so that clients may understand what they are signing up for and make rational decisions. I am concerned that the benefits of outsourcing have been overhyped, while the risks generally have been minimized.”
