Corporate costs = Infrastructure + Peopleware + Software + Hardware + Taxes
It is kinda of complex economics equation followed by strategic and
management poit-of-view
Conclusion: nobody knows who is right and whats the correct solution,
and the CIO have to feel to where the wind is blowing..... |;)).
PS: Do not forget the CSO opinions to get things messy.

I haven't checked current data, and it's too much of an effort - in

But the last time I looked, IBM software (especially middleware like
DB2) was substantially
cheaper in the USA than it was in the UK. Around CICS and DB2, we're
talking a third or so.
Given that we now have the sort of bandwidth that's giving me
subsecond response in Sheffield
from Redmond, I'd think any British bank that didn't seriously
evaluate putting its data
centre in Arizona would be nuts.

Phil,
Interesting. I didn't know the prices were different in the US (as
opposed to other countries). Have you found that companies know this
(about say India software cost being higher?
Just curious as to why it would be more expensive (as well).
I have a close friend who is in the consulting biz and they do
outsourcing as well. I have the impression from him that its not that
big of deal. Like I said I am rather surprised.
