Same is true for getting the 'cheapest' price for a project that just
requires a contractor to work in house. SOMETIMES you get what you pay
for, and (from what I understand) occasionally what you
deserve.

Subject: RE: Outsourcing's dirty secret
The perception of outsourcing has been that you can send your work offshore,
and get it done cheaper, with higher quality.
I think that this article helps to dispel that as a myth. It may or may not be
less expensive, it may or may not be better.

Subject: RE: Outsourcing's dirty secret
What is also unfortunate that the company X which outsourced its project to India, didn't do its job right ... If you just want the cheapest Rolex, you can't complain about its quality later on. I am not saying this couldn't have happened, whatever happened is unfortunate, but I am just saying that the company didn't understand CYA sufficiently, it is just a blame game now.
C'mon ... I think that article is one side of the coin.

List - If a manager seems to be contemplating outsourcing, you might want to
post this. Unless you work for an outsourcer. ;-)
