Parul ...I read the complete content of your post...it was
ALL your opinion...I didn't see one citation. I hope your
post wasn't the example from which I'm supposed to take my
instruction.
BTW...I specifically stated it was my opinion at the end of
the post, which is more than you did at the end of yours. I
think we all wish that if a post is someone's opinion, they
state so. OTOH, I've been at more than one company that used
overseas suppliers for some of their work. One of them
brought the work back in-house because of language quality
issues and one of them was producing horrible
documentation...and both of these were the manager's
opinions, not mine.
The hype did not match the results. My opinions are based on
experience.
Granted, I may not have the depth of experience that you
want, but neither I nor anyone else on this list must
conform to your requirements...we only have to conform to
Eric's requirements and I'm always ready to listen to his
directions.
