off shoring data processing

[Guest Steve1213]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with outsourcing/offshoring any of their data processing work. If so what kind of benefits do you see and what pit falls? It seems that this is an unused area in the industry and i'm wondering why. Thanks

You can probably guess the pitfalls and benefits in generic terms: start-up costs, learning curve, fear of unknown, communications, perception and low costs.
