Been there too. The company that I am currently with had "outsourced" all the IT (z/OS and Windows). They partially owned the outsourcer. The "outsourcer" got all the personnel. About 2 years later, they "repatriated" us. That was about 3 administrations ago. Current administration is again considering outsourcing "some functionality" that we don't have any expertise in. <sigh> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
