Y2K remediation also contributed heavily to outsourcing uptik. Y2K remediation was competing for resources with on-going projects and the internet bubble ... so lots of institutions were forced to go overseas for the temporary resources to handle Y2K remediation. Y2K remediation then created business relationships that continued after Y2K activity finished. Then there are the stories involving at least one large financial institution that outsorced Y2K remediation to the lowest bidder w/o adequately checking their references (and later found interesting extra pieces of code in places where they shouldn't have been). -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
