You mean this? Six months ago? LOL... when you offer your expertise as background for an opinion, be prepared to have your credentials challenged. You have no monopoly on experience. Some of my own experience and that of my friends and associates in the same space contradicts your own. It's not much more complicated than that. No- I meant this one. And you mean to tell me that your idea of good communication with respect to software engineering consists of "how's it going" and "fine" via a transatlantic telephone call??? Doesn't smack of 'state of the art' design methodology to me. Or management discipline. Sounds more like ad-hocracy to me. For example, how come you didn't spot the architectural flaw earlier? Do you normally wait 'till the code comes back to review the architecture? That's the kind of hacker methodology we used back in the 80's. Message 18963907 In other words, your concept of offshoring involves the ONE individual here doing all design, and 100 people offhshore "coding it in". When large architectural flaws are uncovered, it is the fault of the US team, even though the design was outsourced. Actually, your post is right on though and illustrates the entire issue, the reason the model is failing.
