Unfortunately, the ones making the decisions of what the company needs
usually aren't the ones writing the checks; and the accounting people seem
to win the argument more often than not.

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] Move Migration work to India ?

If I worked for a Indian company I'd feel the same way. However as I don't
I don't feel that way.
Who takes care of the system/software after the migration?
Who makes further enhancements? Who trains the users?

Best: the people who know and ran the system for years. Who know the
company and users and the requirements.

I heard of companies that send their applications to India.
What they got back, wasn't what they asked for. Just a big waste of time,
effort and money.

Thanks alot but for me. NO THANKS

Michael
