    I'll never get it. The modern workplace RUNS on pc's and the network.
    If an employee's pc is down, they are twiddling their thumbs until it's fixed.
    Yet they always seem willing to cut corners to save a buck. Everyone
    want's to cut IS costs, but is it really saving the company money?

    Never, the time is ALWAYS lost in that employees productivity who is down while they wait for the outsourced outfit to take care of it.

    Sure, money is saved by outsourcing the IT guys in their salaries, but it's always lost somewhere else in the company.

    Outsourcing is just a fad, it will stop eventually.
