Outsourcing, a Mega-Trend that Forces Changes onto Every IT Organization

Outsourcing is when the volume, repetitive or regular work is being moved overseas so the main corporation can use the cash better, either on marketing, or in technology. Now, this is the simple definition, the complex one is described by the following article. Still... what happens when the main corporation ideintifies that the offshore company produces more and cheaper but also higher as quality, so it actually becomes useless to keep the main company which just turned into a high level cost / expense considering the overall productivity and benefits ?
That sucks right? It happened so many times and the so called IT big guys had to face it by witnessing a major IT Industry fall down a few years ago.
Outsourcing was the solution and outsourcing took over. The student taking over the teacher's work. Now outsourcing rules. there it is no major company that does not base her work on outsourcing. They call it different, but it is still outsourcing... Microsoft, Siemens, Oracle, IBM, SAP, you name it. They are all international.
Of course "the product" will always be developed in house, but the developers and the key resources are and will be "extracted" out of the best, even if outsourcing guys... shouldn’t we call that outsourcing? If Rahim worked 10 years in India's offshore company, but now he's the lead developer - the key resource of the new "in house product", we will no longer call that outsourcing, right ?
