Stop Offshoring
Wednesday, August 02, 2006
Here's a take on offshoring that I hadn't read before: that companies are using offshoring as a tax write-off rather than realizing any true benefits from it. "We may never know if hidden in the justification for offshore development is a form of cost savings that uses the tax code to support offshoring while it drains Uncle Sam's coffers."
The article talks about some of the negatives of offshoring that I've mentioned before. Among the conclusions it reaches is one that comes from QSM, who has examined software development for years from different angles: "The defect rate for offshore development reduces its cost-effectiveness so much as to make it a fundamentally lousy way to develop software."
Thank you. Now, if only more executives would listen....
