I sincerely think these 'cost-savings' moves are going turn out much more expensive in the long-run. Rob

I agree totally. I was talking only about ERP software (orcl, sap, sebl etc) where the pattern we see is.... keep the business analysis close to the users here at corporate (meaning these people must be americans)... then produce a spec to be produced offshore- usually india.

I started in the tech lead position of Oracle ERP apps and although I was located here (vs offshore)- this was the same model we had then. The problem was the business analysts had no knowledge of the internal structures in the package that may or may not allow their design to work. The best ERP implementations had these "techno-func" type people in both the business and technical lead roles. Now that they are trying to draw a hard line between the 2 roles again... with a huge body of water in between no less, I predict failure.

Having said that, consultants from KPMG, Price and others for these large IT enterprise app implementations are too expensive. The model doesn't work, KPMG needs to bill at $100/hr and pay salaries of 50K to be profitable, its high cost low quality by definition.
