Relationship Changes In IT Offshoring

Abstract

As the sheer volume of IT being offshored continues togrow, other changes are occurring. Thetype of IT work being offshored is expanding as more sophisticated vendors andtechnologies make it feasible for new, often more complicated, IT work to beoffshored. Information Technology (IT)is continually improving, transforming formerly non-offshorable personal tasksinto offshorable impersonal tasks. The relationships between clients and theiroffshore vendors have been changing, most obviously in the sheer volume ofoffshoring being undertaken. To gain a better picture of offshoring, it isnecessary to examine these changing aspects.
