DomainK Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Satyam was in charge of world bank's financial and human resources records. WB suddenly banned satyam after they discovered that Satyam had installed in a keylogger in computers inside WB. This is a huge blow for the Indian outsourcing industry. We have been hounded with security threats to databases, but this has crossed all limits. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Satyam_banned_from_offshoring_work_with_World_Bank/rssarticleshow/3584627.cms

vadodaravictor Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Well it might be unintentional as well. It might be that crappy engineers/professionals were visiting not-to-be-visited websites from WB computers:haha:
Ram Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Thats shocking! How can a CMMI Level - 5 company do such a thing?

THX_1138 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The quicker this IT business loses its perceived charm and people with engineering degrees actually contribute towards the manufacturing sector... the better. the abundance of IT jobs is rather deftly veiling the lack of development in the manufacturing sector.

Why are you wishing ill for my work? Dont forget that India has a name in the world for IT.
fineleg Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 today everyone is an IT 'engineer' - even one who has done B.A.Literature or B.Pharm. they are all a 'IT pro' courtesy some NIIT etc.

Lurker Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Satyam was in charge of world bank's financial and human resources records. WB suddenly banned satyam after they discovered that Satyam had installed in a keylogger in computers inside WB. This is a huge blow for the Indian outsourcing industry. We have been hounded with security threats to databases, but this has crossed all limits. In the short term the blow would be strictly for Satyam. Indian IT companies have made big inroads inside US financial establishments and I dont see that changing anytime soon. There is no reason why Amex will stop making TCS their preferred vendor because of an incident at World Bank. In the long run if this incident is repeated it will lend a weapon to those in the United States who are strictly against sending sensitive data outside the nation's boundary. You have to realize that there is a reason why many such projects go to Indian company. All things being equal if an Indian company and a Chinese company is fighting for sensitive data, a la Boeing or Morgan Stanely or Blue Cross Blue Shields, there is more than a good chance that the project would go to the Indian company. Its because India is not considered as a nation that is against US interest. However the more such situations happen the lesser the confidence shall become. As for Satyam they lost a big account. Rightly deserved so too. Of all the major Indian IT companies they are the worst. Period! xxx
