Outsourcing is still increasing and organizations involved in this practice either want to maintain their sourcing level or want to increase it, says KPMG’s recent study Strategic Evolution, which is based on responses from more than 650 organizations (both customers and services providers) from 32 countries.

“Outsourcing is not slowing down, in fact it’s growing faster, ” says Pradeep Udhas, Global Head, KPMG Advisory Services. “This industry is going to go much beyond where it is today.”

I'm not a protectionist, but I wish more companies would hire locally instead of outsourcing. It not only helps local employment but prevents resentment, like from those people in Texas who not only didn't get the Dell jobs, but complained that they could not understand the employees at the call center in India.

Sometimes corporate greed and stockholder greed causes people to lose sight of what is important to a local community.

That's alright, it will stop when India catches up.
