Hi Marcia

>In my experience, outsourcing to places such as India works when one has a very detailed complete specification and all that is required is that the code be written.

Correct

>However, outsourcing to India does not work so well when an entire solution that requires an in-depth understanding of the business requirements is needed.

True, but when labour is found cheap and even getting the thing done again with better specs make it cheaper then outsourcing should work <g>

What I had meant was that labour is cheap here so more outsourcing is being done, just my 2 cents, oops paises (0.02 / 46) <g>
