Sue Spielman on Outsourcing

Well i couldnt resist. I said i wouldnt visit this blog again, but i did.
Outsourcing in my company? I don't think so.
The thread has degenerated into what i thought it would. The only person i seem to agree with is Frank Sommers.
Everyone will (i hope) agree that a problem exists. People losing their jobs anywhere is not particularly pleasant. However most of the "solutions"
do not seem to address the problem and the others are mainly offtopic. Where is the software engineering process of mapping out requirements and the way the proposed solution satisfies the requirements. Where is the impact on other systems etc?
The irony is that most of the people visiting this blog are software engineers and are involved in design/development etc. of systems. If we cant sit and come up with effective solutions that keep most people happy, what does that say for our system architect capabilities?.
