Abstract
Offshoring project work ideally would decrease the overall cost of a software project. We give a short survey of current trends based on different studies and our own poll, covering advantages, risk, and the impact for the job situation in saturated markets. Several questions show unity among the different consultancies where the opinions about trends are quite diverse.
