Does anyone think outsourcing is _not_ about punching up financials to inflate executive compensation packages? Unless the FASB (and similar bodies in the rest of the G-8) brings the gravy train to a halt, asking executives to stop outsourcing is like asking them to trade in their 7-series Beemers and S-class Benzes for Corollas and Civics.

Re: Gartner: Stop Outsourcing Now
According to an article in Z-Journal by Jon William Toigo, titled "IT SENSE, Words of Caution" some executives ARE outsourceing a major portion of their function if not of their fat salaries. He contends they have outsourced their thinking to the leading vendor of "X" partially on the old FUD, "No one ever lost their job ". The other part was as perverse an interpetation of capitalism as can be imagined, which he refutes. If his father in laws ideas are a correct description of the "way things work" then capitalism does indeed belong in the dust bin of history. What the inlaw recommends to him for career purposes would put his integrity one attometer ahead of the white smocked intellectual whores the cigarette industry used to parade around on leashes. -- 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

In the early 1990s Gartner applied a full court press promoting client-server. A couple of years later they decreed that companies were needlessly rushing into client-server. Companies didn't rush into client-server, they were pushed.
