Australia: Telstra's Offshore Option

Michael Sainsbury writes on Australian IT:

TELSTRA has completed the initial phase of a massive overhaul of its $1.3 billion-a-year information technology operations that could see hundreds more jobs moved offshore to India.

The company's operations chief Greg Winn is believed to have targeted staff cuts of 225 this month, with a further 200 by June 30 and is exploring outsourcing more functions to third-party providers.

Telstra has about 1500 full-time equivalent IT staff and 1200 contractors. Mr Winn's target is believed to be about 1600 full- time staff, paving the way for more outsourcing.
