Jared,
The other problem with outsourcing, which we've run head on into, is that an
ASP wants you to run the application "plain vanilla". Customization of an
application to fit your business/needs is one area they really do not like to
handle. Makes upgrading a pain in the *&^, which means some of your clients are
running PeopleSoft 7 while the remainder are on Peoplesoft 8. Also your patch
levels will vary, due to the customization. Hence, if you need to customize you
can't outsource.

This has all been tried before, and the predictions are the
same: financial nirvana, big savings in technology costs,
no pesky holier-than-thou DBA's baffling poor damagers
with stuff they can't possibly understand.

Very few executive, managers or DBA's are going to want
to place their corporate data on Oracle's site, or even provide
access to it from outside for non-employees.
There's also the whipping boy factor. Who's butt you going to
kick when the database is screwed up? ;)
Heard a good quote on a documentary the other night:
"A corporation has no soul to save nor an ass to kick".
Someone local must be accountable for the data. The whole
outsourcing thing is kind of baffling to me at times. Why not
carry it out its fullest measure?
Outsource mfg, sales, IT, design and executives. No need
for any employees.
Guess I turned of the rant too soon.
