I have had experience working Accenture (based in India). Let me just say this, it may be 1/3 cheaper to offshore work, but it takes them 3x as a long to complete the job!

Fact is companies have to offshore to remain competitive, and American consumers benefit from lower cost of living and lower taxes.

And let's not forget all the Americans who owe their jobs to other countries that offshore work TO the US !
