Hello, this is still going around me, my projects:
Last year, we used PeopleSoft software to develop an
semi in-house product, before it became production, the
total maintainence work for that application had been
bid over by an Indian company, they are now maintain the project from India with a supposed lower fee.
This year and now, we are converting a legacy system into something modern, guess what? The entire software
design is led by an Indian team, they are here as consultants but because of their initial involvement and expertise, the end product will also be maintain by them!
What a xxxxxxxxxxx…, no fun no more, no save no more.
You are right about staying up front at the technology
but they are catching up fast, the Indian universities
have majoring in every software we are using here according to the offshoring consultants’ confession!
Well, the good USA people is going to let Mexican to farm the land, to let Indian to develop the software,
to let Chinese to produce all Wal-Mart goods, pretty soon, you’ll see traffic cops with green faces…
well, what are AMerican doing everyday? Just sitting
back and relax looking out the beautiful ocean …
geeee, life is good …
