What will be the next big offshoring frontier? While the experts don't all have the same locations in mind, they all agree that <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2155208,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594">it will no longer be in India.</A>
Salary inflation is largely to blame for the change in course. When the outsourcing boom took off in 2004, the salaries of software engineers were one quarter of what San Francisco-area computer engineers made, making very clear the cost savings of offshoring.
But in the years since, Indian salaries have soared--in several cases to 75 percent of U.S. levels--and some in Silicon Valley have begun to sour on sending jobs to India, wrote the Wall Street Journal on July 3.
