No Offshoring

290 points posted to Service and Support by khess 02/22/07

Michael Dell, do you want to breathe new life into your company? Stop Offshoring the support. There are plenty of small towns in Texas that would love the chance to provide that support for Dell.
Want some good PR? Do this and see what happens. Make Dell the leader in ONSHORING and Rural Sourcing.

It is funny that big companies are saying that they have to go to India to compete..HA! That is really not the case at all...nor is the excuse that there aren't enough technical grads...there is an easy solution to that too: Provide scholarships, endowments, and trusts to provide that education and jobs for Americans.

I won't buy a Dell product until your products are:
1. Made in the US
2. Supported in the US

Once our economy is destroyed with all this offshoring, who the hell is going to buy your products? Indians? Chinese? Russians?
If you want to conduct business over there...then relocate your company there as well. American companies should hire Americans or lose their tax advantages.

02/22/07		 Even though I promoted this, I want to know, what manufacturer of computers exists today that meets those requirements? Open any box and you will see Taiwan and China inside and on the labels. Not a single system shipped in the last 10 years could be fully produced without a dependency on foreign operations. it is the nature of the economy that we live in.

Dell does assemble PC equipment in the US, as evidenced by the large factories in Austin, Nashville, and Winston-Salem.

Save Money, Turn Peoples Lives Around, Fight Povertry, Help Children, Save America,
and deliver Excellent Deals for Dell Customers,
with Support Call centers that speak 'American' - For Real - in English and Spanish.

10/13/07		 what? Accenture and Wipro planning to acquire Dell?...Wipro is also a local PC maker like Dell right? and ofcourse has its call centers. Does Wipro has Dell projects?...Accenture, again an outsourcing?
Too many third party vendors messing up the whole show...

10/13/07		 No offshoring and strictly Onshoring ? Dell USA will take care of Dell USA and Dell Chennai will take care of Tamil Nadu wITH the Dell USA controlling it. Is that fine Maverickcruise?...what is your opinon maverickcruise?

10/13/07		 Dell's Non US BPO can very well be managed by the US itself plzz...;)

10/13/07		 When Wipro itself is a PC manufacturer, how come they will outrightly support another PC competitor Dell?. Will Wipro be eager to promote its computers or Dell's computers?
Is Azim Premji less generous not to promote his products and too generous to help Michael Dell promote Dell computers?
what a joke?...Is anybody there on the site?...can you help me with these doubts please....;)

10/13/07		 I feel that Dell has been into partnering with third party vendors for outsourcing for quite some time, Dell would have "now" gained enough experience to balance business needs "on it's own" without the help of thrid party vendors...Is it not?
