I have read a lot lately about Outsourcing/Offshoring IT
jobs (programming, support etc) and most of it is about
concern for loss of jobs or lower salaries in the IT field.

As a software vendor I find it interesting that we are asked
many questions about our company and software during the
sales cycle. But we have NEVER been asked where our
development or our support is done.

To all of you that are concerned as I am about outsourcing-
1) How do you feel about it when purchasing software?  This would be a no
deal (if outsourced I ain't buyin)
2) Do you care that the software you are purchasing was
developed and supported by employees in the US or not? yes
3) Do you take this into consideration when purchasing
software? Yes

Just FYI, we do not now, nor have we ever, or would we ever
outsource any of our development or support to be done
outside of our offices in the USA.
