Abstract:
The boom of the Information Technology started in the 1990’s, and it went all the way until the year 2000. Once the recession hit in the year 2001, all IT companies began to cut costs to reduce expenses. As a cost cutting measure, offshore outsourcing was a effective alternative for tapping into the low cost labor market of other countries. As a result, jobs were lost both to recession and offshore outsourcing. Different people have different perspectives on offshore outsourcing. This paper studies the perspectives of software development employee’s (non-Oracle employees) on offshore outsourcing by using an anonymous survey. The survey focuses on the areas of job, quality, economy, and risk. The result was divided into different groups by country of origin, level experience, education level (graduate, under graduate etc), and major in school to find out which questions are important for each group and how they rank it.
