SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Nearly half of U.S. IT jobs involve the upkeep and maintenance of computers - a sector previously thought to be safe from offshoring. But technological change is sweeping the industry, and soon the servers that host your favorite websites or run your online banking could be run from halfway around the world.
Almost any company, of course, stands to benefit from reducing its computing costs. But there's also a huge opportunity for companies that can help cut those costs: Worldwide spending on systems administration, as it's known, is an estimated $110 billion a year. In the U.S., systems administrators make an average of $29 per hour. Moving those jobs to India could save companies up to 60% per year, according to a new McKinsey study.
