Lundy Slams Self-Serving Outsourcing Report

Shadow IT minister Kate Lundy has slammed a report on offshore outsourcing commissioned by the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) as self-serving and one-eyed. The AIIA report found that of 100 large business and government organisations, 12 had already completed an offshore outsourcing project and a further five were considering it as an option for later this year. Senator Lundy scoffed at the report’s findings, which appeared generally supportive of the offshoring notion, saying it was no surprise that the AIIA found those results. She also attacked the report’s published numbers, suggesting the AIIA had played with percentages to support its own agenda
