One of the other problems is that the Indians were never the Indians doing the grunt work but always want to be chiefs.
Unless you have a major idea of what you are attempting to manage you will always fail. Which also brings up why didn't Go zTPF. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Johnson Sent: Monday, May 29, 2017 9:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: After IT outage, British Airways union blames outsourced IT jobs in India for problem blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Companies that outsource their IT or any other function might save money in the short term which will make the CEO a bundle of money over that short term, based on stock performance. Over the long term, this is the kind of failure they must be willing to accept. The same is true for CEO's who replace the mainframe for smaller cheaper platforms. Saves them money in the short term, until they get hacked.

Unless they're blaming the SPOF design on the Indians, of course (still fully possible). Not sure "We outsourced and had no grown-up oversight" is an excuse either. The best example of a successful outsourcing (who shall remain nameless) that I know of kept several senior staff to be the interface with the outsourcer. They keep 'em (mostly) honest. Next-best is, of course, moving existing staff to the outsourcer, but that "wears off" over time. Remind me again why outsourcing is such a great idea... (yeah, yeah, I know the reasoning, don't start). ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
