[IP] more on Outsourced and Out of Control (fwd)
From: nrsinowitz@xxxxxxx
Lauren,
Several decades ago Bell Labs started a critical project called BIS
(Business Unformation Systems) in which the development
of several major subsystems were to be outsourced. I remember hearing a
talk at the time by Doug McIlroy in which he
said: "Any system built without in-house talent produces out-house results."
