A services firm is a services firm is a services firm, be it a 750 person shop like TW or a 70,000 person shop like Infy or whatever.<br /><br />As for the former - we're fooling ourselves if we think that any client organization would go half-way around the world to have their problems solved without the incentive of a huge reduction in costs. If they wanted developers as good as those at TWI and cost wasn't an issue, I'm sure there are plenty of those right in their backyards. <br />I agree that the word 'outsourcing' has certain connotations - hordes of inexpensive developers doing drudge work - which is not TWI. But while we bill at twice or thrice the rate of the other Indian shops, we're stil charging 1/3rd the US rate. Perhaps 'low cost' is a better way to put it, if the connotation is what we want to avoid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938300811286150164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718956085911858962.post-32592729831213273682006-11-23T06:34:00.000+05:302006-11-23T06:34:00.000+05:30not really an outsourcing firm - or even as big as...not really an outsourcing firm - or even as big as some of the other major indian players - are we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
