Mumbai Bombings Give Outsourcing Community Pause

theodp writes "eWeek reports that the big fear of offshore outsourcing customers has become a reality: a major bombing attack in an outsourcing hub. In the wake of the attack, companies are considering their resources and preparedness. Despite understandable fears, people on the ground don't seem to think these latest attacks will have a long-term effect on the growth of India's tech sector." From the article: "The terrorist attack in Mumbai--and conflict between Israel and Lebanon for that matter--raise a series of questions for companies sourcing technology globally. Do you know the disaster recovery plans of your offshore services provider? Are their plans integrated with yours? And how prepared are these providers? "

Just another rant against outsourcing

[unity100]

Im no indian, but i know that india is a HUGE country so that people there generally do not even hear about some things happening in other regions of it.

For your information a state of civil war is raging for over 20-30 years in its punjab region, yet it did not interfere with india's rise in it sector.

Governments are not idiot as to put silicon valleys, industrial centers in regions that are prone to any problems. But outsourcing enemies are idiot as to use every single shit for ranting against outsourcing.
