Software development outsourcing

   Its not simply a cost reduction
                exercise

                   by
           PortfolioSoftware
A long time ago in a land far away lived a
software developer who was busy night and day
He toiled long and hard and was as busy as can
be but at 5pm he went home for his tea
Now its not a bad thing that he went home to
eat but his far away client had their own client
to meet.
When the software was not done and the
project delayed the software developer was
more than dismayed.
He worked 10 hour days because he had a
family to feed but his far away client was driven
by greed
The far away client told him to work night and
day and if he didnt they would cut half his pay
So the software developer increased his working
day and worked harder and harder to receive
his low pay.
The software developer was getting depressed,
the more he worked the less he had rest
Finally it happened, the developer became ill,
but work he did because he had hungry mouths
to fill
On he went, developing was a chore but he
continued working until he could work no more
All worked had stopped and the client started
to shout, why has our developer decided to bail
out.
But try as they might, with threats of reduced
pay, the software developer could no longer
work night and day
So the client called him up to see what was
wrong, but the software developer had for a
long time gone.
He had chosen a new path for a much better life,
working 8 hour days to feed his children and
wife.
Now the clients was stuck with no where to go,
choosing a local contractor was ever so slow
But get one they did and the work was
complete, but tripled their costs for their own
clients demands to meet
The moral to this story is as simple as can be:
low cost, long hours outsourcing is false
economy
Relationships work when both parties agree
that supplier and client work with integrity
So what happened to the software developer
how did he fare, he went and worked for
PortfolioSoftware.
He was happy with life and so were his family,
because the company he worked for had oodles
of integrity
