Ohio Outsourcing: Tata The Latest Indian IT Company Hiring In The U.S.

Here's something that rings to the MIS tune. Usually when you outsource, the very first thing you want to know is the business culture of the destined outsourcing area you will be outsourcing your company to. This is absolutely crucial, as it has crippled hasty outsourcing efforts and greatly rewarded companies that understood how the outsourcing destination operated its businesses.

What's very interesting about this article, however, is that instead of US companies outsourcing their workforce other areas like China, Taiwan, or India, we have an article that covers the other perspective, Indian companies searching in the US for employees to work at these companies.

Usually when we think about outsourcing, it is usually a heated debate about job security on the home front and concerns about globalization. Usually the arguments make a point about forgoing jobs to outsourcing and not having enough jobs in the US to provide enough jobs to its inhabitants. Usually people who argue for outsourcing says it lowers costs.

Well, lets see what happens when other companies from outside the US look into the US for employment into their companies... I am interested to see if this reverse-outsourcing practice solidifies or not. :)
