This is a nice thought which can do justice to the people working on both the
sides . ie , "outsourced" as well as "outsourcing" companies . This way , the
work goes only to deserving hands which of course improves the support quality .
Again the amount of work getting outsourced would come down drastically if
Mainframe companies start choosing offshore partners based on skill .
Interviews should happen at manager level so the practice of illiterate guys
managing technical teams would stop . But then , how many companies are
willing to do this ?
