If the quality of the work they get out of India is on a par with the digital excrement my firm has gotten out of those folks, this should be the final nail in GM's coffin.

My experience with EDS tells me they will overcharge and never complete any of the work.

Some of us here prefer the Japanese cars that are really made in the US like Toyota and Honda over the NAFTA cars like GM and Ford that are really made in Mexico and Canada.

You know it was bound to happen...It almost seems as though they lost money just so they could move overseas..

That giant sucking sound that Ross spoke about was EDS sucking the life out of GM after they were acquired. I worked as a subcontractor in the GM building at the time. EDS was busy padding the IT departments with anybody they could find. There was very little work to do, so much time was wasted on rubber-band wars, long lunches to local bars (including the Windsor Ballet), etc. I came very close to going to work for EDS. Damn glad I didn't.

GM has outsourced it's IT work to EDS and others for as long as I can remember.
This is not a new thing for GM. It's the way they have been doing business for decades.
It should also be noted that this is a Reuters article via Fox News, rather than something writen by reporters at Fox News.

"Depends, we do some outsourcing with IBM and all the guys on our account are based stateside.."
Many of IBM's outsourcing partners require that the data and employees stay in the states. Recently one of IBM's accounts went to India with all their sensitive financial in tow. IBM is feverishly outsourcing their internal accounts to India, Brazil, China, South Africa and Argentina to name a few. IBM's upper management envision a day when they can sit back and rake in the money while paying a pittance for service. Unfortunately there won't be many Americans who can afford their services then.
