Off shoring of Documentation: a survey

Posted on 02:28 by Unknown
Today, many software product companies have a base in India. A huge pool of talent, low wages, and an English-speaking population made India a great outsourcing destination. In the past few years, technical writing too transitioned to India for the same aforementioned reasons. If you are a technical writer working in the onsite-offshore model, please tell me how your experience has been. What are the challenges that you face? Are you satisfied with the job content? Please participate in this informal survey. Offer your feedback through the comments link on this blog or write to me at suman (at) Sumankumar (dot) com.

I look forward to hearing from you. Do pass the word around!
