OSS against outsourcing?
Posted August 8, 2003 – 4:21 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in Politics, TechnologyAll these stories about large companies (Sprint, JP Morgan, and others) outsourcing to India brings some thoughts.
A lof the jobs moving overseas are programming jobs. If a company uses open-source products, and most of the IT effort involved is not programming but rather integration or service, than it would follow that those jobs should stay in the US while the actual programming is done by the open source community (it is hard to imagine a company that does service and support on your operating system to have technicians fly in from India). Could switching to open source save the high-tech IT industry in the US?
