Given the recent spate of outsourcing announcements made by some NZ manufacturers, I was intrigued by an article on Reuter's today, entitled: 'CBI Urges Offshore Civil Service Jobs to Save Costs'.
"There is no reason for back office functions to be replicated by many civil servants sitting in expensive office blocks or sitting in the UK at all," the CBI says.
Totally agree.
The CBI reckons most of the work they do could be streamlined and calculates that more than 500 million pounds could be saved over two years by combining or outsourcing it.
What's the argument, I say. We live in a world where offshoring can deliver high quality output and generate real cost savings. Savings that can be re-invested into more productive sectors of the economy or its social infrastructure. Seems to make sense really.
