Friday 13th - The Outsourcing
congratulations to Russian IT house Luxoft for carrying off one of last night's NOA awards (NB to NOA please post these!)
why did so many in the audience make backhander gestures when one of the Big 5 went up to collect an award?
what a shame the only thing the after dinner speaker had to say to his audience was "we used to write lots of bad things about you outsourcers, but nowadays we don't. so my conclusion is there's not much to write about; well done"
wasn't he supposed to say something about how outsourcing has been one of the drivers of the western economy helping sustain eight years continuous growth? we would have done, and for half his fee.
but maybe he had a point - the NOA should have known better than to host the awards on the eve of Friday 13th:
OUTSOURCING MARKET FALLS BACK

I was a judge for the NOA awards as I am the offshoring director. Any joking allegations about backhanders are absolute rubbish, though in any case I realise they are borne more from the party atmosphere than any serious complaint! In fact, there are a lot of great projects and companies out there that could have won in some of the categories, but they didn't enter the awards. As this is fast becoming the annual awards bash for outsourcing in the UK I'm sure more and more entries will roll in next year.
