The IT industry is migrating to a centralized, remote managed environment, where all IT resources must produce an acceptable return on investment (ROI), and make a substantial contribution to the client’s competitive edge. Our clients can no longer afford to pay for mismanaged, unproductive IT solutions. The former IT skillsets that guaranteed long-term employment have become outdated as the complexity of IT deployments has diminished. I have been employed as an IT professional since 1992 and this trend was beginning to emerge even then.
Okay here is the drill newbie to IT. If the return on investment is the only criteria then why do you need a government subsidy? This letter asks for nothing more than ending a government handout and enforcing our immigration laws and standards. Defund OPIC and enforce the law period that is it. Your straw man agruments are total Bull and need to be refuted as such. I note the first wave of outsourcing in IT was prior to 1992 and it died a rapid and well deserved death because the subsidies were not there. I have nbo objection whatsover to a free market but a government subsidy to one side does not constitute a free market.
Now if an offshore outsourcing investment can not produce a return on investment better than one in the USA without government subsidy then it is probably an unwise investment. I am truly sorry for you if you have sponsored such a project within your corporation and removing such programs as government subsidized political risk insurance change the overall numbers. you do not have a right to a government subsidy.
Stay Safe and as always I hope yer days are easy.
