Not really hard to figure out.
They don’t need to worry about paying for Sanjay in Mumbai’s health insurance.
US corporate taxes and regulations are more to blame than any corporation for the outsourcing of jobs. A corporation is a living organism. The first priority is to survive.
Not rocket science for anyone schooled in business.
They’ve probably got a lot of new business over there. Makes perfect sense — except to those who think an American company should lose money patriotically.
The purpose of any business enterprise is to make money for the owners.
For some reason, the U.S. has somehow come to the conclusion that the purpose of business is to employ people who don't want to work and provide them with a bunch of benefits (including health insurance and health care).
That's what you get when governments get into social engineering.

IBM is a digital boat anchor. Don’t deal with it.
I sure know this. My husband USED to work for IBM.
The problem seems to not be for America, but for New York
How is that a bad thing?
New York after Massachusetts is a great American problem
I was an IBM Systems Service Rep for 11 years.....What IBM did was get out of the service end of the business and just got rid of everyone. All service went to 3rd party vendors....I now work for one of those 3rd party vendors who now has not only a bunch of the old IBM contracts, but a lot of the old HP contracts...

I'm a lead advocate for one of these programs. You simply do not get the work out of the remote teams that you need unless you micro-manage every aspect of a project.
In my experience, you are getting far more value, ownership and engagement for the local expertise.
We had one example of a 6 month ongoing project that was only partially implemented. It took the local senior resource 36 hours to fix the insanely easy problems that indicated that there was only minor testing done as a formality, not truly vetted out.
OTOH, we only had to put a senior IT resource on the project for 36 hours to make it functional. There's the ROI.
this is what happens when you have a feminazi as CEO...theyre firing vermonters ...the only reason IBM had a plant there was the Watsons had a chalet st Stowe...
