Small story.<br>
<br>
One of my customers, a large utility back east, outsourced their
entire IT staff to India a couple years ago. As part of ongoing
product support, we have (had?) a product upgrade available for this
customer. However, it needed new hardware to be compatible and
"fast" for the customer. They agreed and put in the orders,
requisitions, management requests, etc. All they needed was two new
servers with Windows 2003 Server edition, one with SQL 2003
installed, usernames and passwords were specified, etc.<br>
<br>
It's now been over one year and I'm still getting emails from my guy
at this utility with forwards and replies from the IT staff. I
don't really want to say they are incompetent, but this is
ridiculous. The last email I got from him still indicated they
hadn't got the logins correct across the two servers.<br>
<br>
Now, to put this in perspective, before they outsourced this to
India, we would have been done in less than 30 days from signing the
req, to being done with the upgrade. This project is still nowhere
near being ready for the software install and it's been over a
freakin' YEAR! My pal at the utility is about ready to quit, not
because of this one thing, but because all the other crap he now has
to go through for -anything- IT related. It's a wonder he gets
anything done.<br>

possibility is real. Today, more and more people work for
call centers for all types of business. Even engineering
firms contract highly technical design work to home based
freelancers as I did years ago. It is easy to place a job
hired by one at home in the hands of less payed third world
individuals. It is more a matter of morals. Most of your
computer scams and attacks come from highly knowledgeable
people in those countries. They are good at what they do and
far from the reach of US law. The internet and will of
someone to do this is very possible. My eyes are wide ass
open. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
