Mike F.... writes "The Salt River Project out of Phoenix Arizona is readying an RFP to outsource all IT Infrastructure and Data Center jobs in an effort to save money over the next five years. US jobs are being lost to India, China, and South America. This "Global Market" is impacting yet another company. What isn't being talked about is how SRP is also in the process of applying for hundreds of millions in stimulus dollars for Smart Grid technologies and various other IT projects. Here our government is handing over money to a quasi-governmental organization so they can fund outsourcing their jobs overseas. Not only should we be worried about outsourcing additional American jobs but how about the Security of the Nation's Grid? How about a company taking tax payers money while moving jobs overseas?
There is always a half truth behind every news report like the one below. They have every intention of outsourcing all of IT not matter how they spin it with the media.
