TCS cheaper than Accenture, etc.

Not sure how TCS prices compare to contract rates but the quality of TCS bods that I've encountered isn't good.

Dunno where you have been hiding for the last 10 years or so. This is standard in most large clients. Many of the big boys have many hundreds of ICTs. 55? Pffffff that's nothing.

A couple of years ago at old clientco TCS were 200pd Accenture between 9 & 12, they would get acc. In the door to start a project then ASAP they wheeled in the TCS guys to finish/demolish it

That's when us independents rolled in to clean up.

The only good thing it is now in the main stream press.

The press needs to now print how much HMRC are losing with this deal.

More than through a badly thought out IR35 I'd guess.

All I do is boot round TCS folk. They are very good!

Should be some good contracts coming up at BA in a few years then to clean up the mess. In the meanwhile I better sell my shares in IAG........

Even here at clientco half the office are bods from Infosys and Cognizant it's not exactly anything new.

Even if you change the rules to stop IT staff coming over on temporary visas, they'll simply work remotely in India.

All our contractors are offshored, they don't need temporary visas, you can easily communicate and video conferencing is just as good as face to face.

Remote offshoring is the latest and greatest trend.
