ParticipantActually, this is quite common. I've been saying this for some time. A lot of the overreaction to outsourcing is just that overreaction..
I was talking to an Indian CEO of a Pharma company over a weekend..He was opening a major site in the U.S. I asked him why he wasn't doing this in India. His response was that the training and tools in India was lacking and that it was difficult to go though the certification if the facility was outside the U.S.
Second, a few checks with IT outsourcing projects were that while it works for routine maintanence or when you code to a requirements with a T, it doesn't work with esoteric projects or requirements, or projects requiring just-in-time design. Also with the falling dollar, labor isn't really that expensive relative to overseas.

ParticipantI work at a RIA (Rich Internet Application) shop, we are the low cost producer! We ain’t cheap either. We’re opening offices in Europe and Taiwan and Oz. For somewhat high value products like software, a weaker dollar will help bring work back to the US. Overall its going to suck, but for now its helping bring in the business.
I say its going to suck because we are still the consumer of last resort and when we go into recession so will everyone else. Decoupling is a myth.
