it was extremely difficult to offshore automated business tasks until the internet enabled application software came along. For example take the Sabre online reservation system, it used to be a client/server technical model. That meant in order to access this service, you had to have software installed locally, with some direct network access to the host. Internet enabled application software came out in 1999 from Sap, Oracle and others. Now all you need is access to the internet, nothing more, that is when offshoring became possible for thousands of firms. You could offshore before 1999, but your business operated in a vacuum. No visibility from people here as to what was going on there. The internet changed all that, and the first rollouts of the software were in Bush's term. So I recommit to my point, that there was effectively no administrative indian offshoring of US businesses until the Bush term. The technology just wasn't there. Its not Bush's fault this happened, of course, it is more his reaction to the employment and security issues at hand that is disturbing.
