Stop Offshoring
Wednesday, February 07, 2007
For companies considering offshoring, perhaps this news story, titled "Offshoring is too costly", will help you decide. It's about the Newcastle Building Society, which has been testing using staff in India for two years. In the end, it determined that "overall costs here are less than the all-in costs of outsourcing to India" due to all of the hand-holding needed to train and manage an offshore team.
Companies need to think about the overall costs rather than the cheap salaries highlighted by offshore proponents. Combined with the inferior level of work performed by offshore employees, it just doesn't make sense to send jobs offshore.
