Way back in early 2004 -- during the height of the Democratic Presidential primary -- we thought we were at the peak of the anti-offshoring rhetoric. And, we were right. By the time we got the the general election, offshoring was a minor issue in the grand scale of things.
The trouble is that the rhetoric (and the nightly Lou Dobbs onslaught) kick-started the legislative process and now Congress and, according to InfoWorld, every single U.S. state has at least one pending bill designed to minimize the alleged impact of offshoring.
Check out David Berlind's blog for a perspective on the impact of legislation that he wrote after sitting down with TechNet CEOs at a recent Massachusetts media roundtable. An excerpt:
Don't get me wrong. When it comes to outsourcing, I'm very sympathetic to the today's suffrage. But, history proves that adaptation is a much healthier long term approach to changing business models and real economic force than is legislating the erection of highly questionable artificial protections whose benefits are short term at best. I don't profess to have the answers either. But, at a recent New England TechNet dinner that I attended, Brian Keane, the chief executive of IT consultancy Keane & Co. noted that he is hiring in India and that his ability to do so was making it possible to create more jobs here in the US. His comments drew nods of concurrence from other chief executives at the table including RSA president and CEO Arthur Coviello.
