If I were a technician, I would want these egotistical drivers to lose the race or get fired. I've worked at several companies where some of the top folks were so full of themselves and so disliked that they were actually set up by their staff for failure. The Gartner Group's ex-CEO was like this, and you have to believe that had a lot to do with Gartner's long-term problems and the eventual catastrophic departure of that CEO...

Stein: There are other private IM providers. There are no other private IM-hosted providers. While Microsoft has announced Live Communication Server, Lotus has LotusIM. They are installed solutions.

And offshore doesn't necessarily mean Bangalore or other cities in India. It could just as easily mean the Philippines, where college graduates are being hired quickly to staff groups that do what many western analysts consider to be the drudgery work of their jobs: number-crunching and drilling into SEC documents to get the most valuable data...

Listed below are prices offered by merchant call centers in South Asia and Dubai for voice programs from U.S. clients. Price data comes from competitive bids received by InternationalStaff.net rather than from market surveys. Facilities submitting prices were prescreened.
