The head-long rush to use programmers in India is ebbing. CIOs are suddenly taking more of a “pick your spots” approach: some outsourced IT work may still be done in Bangalore, but some may be done in Detroit or Cleveland.

Plus, in India, “prices are inflating, attrition is increasing, and quality is on the decline.” Yes, the U.S. labor costs slightly more, but that can be offset by the productivity gains.
