Is There a 'Next India' in List of Offshore Alternatives? | Blogs | ITBusinessEdge.com
When I saw a CIO Update piece titled "Top 10 Outsourced IT Destinations You Haven't Thought Of," I thought, "Oh no, not a sentence ending with a preposition" and mentally re-titled it "10 Outsourced IT Destinations You Haven't Considered." (I went to a parochial school where the nuns made us diagram sentences on the board for hours at a time, and old habits die hard.)
I then moved on to my next thought: Having covered outsourcing for several years, I don't exactly agree with the premise. Countries around the globe have been working on developing the necessary technical infrastructures and labor pools to position themselves as "the next India." Some of them have landed on similar lists, like one from A.T. Kearney in which Uruguay, Estonia, Pakistan and Senegal placed among the consulting company's top 50 offshoring locales. So many companies have probably already considered at least a few of the alternatives on CIO Update's list.
