SoylentNews is people

from the you're-grounded dept.

Cringley speculates like hell:

Delta Airlines last night suffered a major power outage at its data center in Atlanta that led to a systemwide shutdown of its computer network, stranding airliners and canceling flights all over the world. You already know that. What you may not know, however, is the likely role in the crisis of IT outsourcing and offshoring.

Do any Soylentils have inside/better information?

    The person responsible for outsourcing has been sacked and the empty post will now be filled by an outsourced consultant.

    ...at $5k a day plus expenses.
    But I'm sure it looks like a cost savings on paper.

    completed at great expense, at the last minute, and in an entitrely different style.

    (those who were going to do the sacking, have just been sacked)
