>* If your shop support some clients (outsourcing) I have some major issues with outsourcing: 1. You lose control of upgrades an tech currency. 2. The service provider keeps you at the absolute minimum level of hardware & software. 3. They downgrade the staff skill set, experience, & salary. 4. They put a beauracracy in front of any changes. (I know I spelled that wrong) 5. They do NOT improve service delivery (in general, service suffers). 6. They maintain the minimum they can get away with.
I know I'm generalising, but at my last job I was hired to bring the service provider to deliver, at least, what was on contract. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
