"Gates urges caution on outsourcing"

World the other day, I found
this little clip hidden in the corner.
Companies should not
outsource their core business functions and staff.......Gates urged IT
companies to beware of outsourcing too much to save costs and to keep their
key engineering resources and intellectual property at home.
It goes on to say that he is referencing
research and development efforts for the most part. Well duh! That
is the reason we exist here
and here.
Because email, IM, e-learning, team collaboration and (you get the
idea) is not a core component of any company we host and mange for. They
all have other core competencies.
That is the whole goal and exactly what
he wants you to focus on. He likes the IT consulting if you are not
an IT company. It was just construed in a weird way in that article
to make it seem like he was saying do not outsource at all.
Actually it was the opposite. If
you make widgets, make them. Do not concern yourself with the other
areas.
