Offshoring is the practice of U.S. companies using overseas providers for certain tasks. For example, technology companies like IBM and Microsoft have used programmers in India, mainly because overseas salaries are lower than U.S. salaries. Results have been mixed. Some companies report problems in employee turnover and communication. Others find that investors like the lower costs.
