Offshoring - A challenge or opportunity for British IT professionals?
The report of the BCS working group on Offshoring
Offshoring provides an opportunity to source IT services at low cost. This controversial trend looks set to have a significant impact on the British IT profession in coming years.
It is of great concern to many BCS members. While some fears may prove to be unfounded, we believe it is crucial to take action now to develop a strong IT profession that meets future business needs and contributes to the well-being of the UK economy.
