o Study: Fewer U.S. Tech Companies Shipping Jobs Overseas

o Study: Fewer U.S. Tech Companies Shipping Jobs Overseas
Chicago -- Fewer U.S. technology companies are shipping jobs overseas,
according to a new study by accounting and consulting giant BDO. According
to the survey, just 32% of technology CFOs now say their companies outsource
services or manufacturing outside the U.S. That marks a substantial shift
from 2009, when nearly twice as many were outsourcing. And among the
companies not currently outsourcing, 80% said they are unlikely to outsource
services or manufacturing overseas in the near future. "With unemployment
numbers still hovering above 8%, pressure is mounting from Washington to
bring jobs home," said Paul Heiselmann, a member of BDO's Technology and
Life Sciences practice. "Bringing services and manufacturing back to the
U.S. is also a smart move for tech companies looking to improve the quality
of service and reduce exposure to international risks and major supply chain
disruptions."
