BA IT systems failure: Uninterruptible Power Supply was interrupted

Well Willie, the first rule of Outsourcing, is you can't outsource responsibility. The whole Outsourcing thing, is simply a way to reduce pay and conditions for workers. Also, companies who outsourced IT Operations and Infrastructure, (sure it’s only tin), now realise it’s neither cost efficient or offers a better service. When something goes wrong, it takes much longer to recover, when IT is scattered to the four winds.
