What outsourcing app dev work means for US work force

The following article in InformationWeek try to explains what outsourcing means for US work force. "As more commoditized work such as coding and testing is moved offshore, local application developers are doing more complex work," including software design work.

Synygy Inc., a maker of workforce-optimization software, employs its own application-development and product-development staff in Romania (we can see this from their contact list that they work with Ecstend Software Iasi) and India. In the future, the technical role of the company’s in-house or U.S.-based application developers will be minimized because those skills are easy to get overseas, Synygy CIO Chetan Shah says. As a result, Shah predicts that U.S. application-development workers will need to beef up their business expertise and learn to manage remote teams.
