Offshore Alternative..Domestic IT Workers CAN Compete
Our company has been in business for over 18 years,
providing I.T. staff augmentation services to mostly large
corporations in
California.  As you're well aware, our industry has been impacted by
the
growing offshoring trend, especially in the application development
area.

About a year ago, we saw this trend coming, and grew very concerned
about
growing number of displaced Domestic I.T. workers, as well as what
this
could potentially mean to our domestic programmers, industry and
business.

As we polled our clients, we found that almost all of them were not
pleased to
be offshoring their work.  However, given the constant pressure to
reduce
costs and gain efficiencies, as well as their increasing workload,
most felt
like they had little choice but to seriously consider the overseas
worker.

Armed with this information, we went to several of our large clients
and asked
them that if we could come up with a way to make the Domestic I.T.
worker
competitive with the offshore worker, would they be interested.  All
of them
expressed a strong interest.

To make a long story short, we were able to deliver, and have since
engaged
in three successful pilots.

We wrote a White Paper in August, which has lead to the development of
our
website, (the link is listed below).  The site has been out about 60
days,
and the traffic has been steadily increasing.

If you would like to read our White Paper, "The Business Case For The
Homeland Onshore Model", and you can register for it at our website.

The point is, that if given a chance and a level playing field, the
American I.T. worker CAN compete with the offshore firms, especially
given the hidden costs and risks.
