Globalization is increasing cost pressures and productivity demands on Western companies. Multi-national corporations were the first to utilize cost differentials across the globe by moving production plants to low wage countries, R&D to countries with high subsidies for such activities, sales and marketing to the "rich" countries, and their headquarters to tax havens. In the IT arena medium-sized firms followed suite by outsourcing mainly non-mission critical software projects offshore. Particularly India has seen a wave of mergers and acquisitions in an effort to consolidate resources to meet Western demands. The next wave is the transplantation of entire IT departments offshore.
