Offshore IT
I think Accenture will eventually get bit in the *ss buy thier shift to hiring offshore IT.

1)Their clients know they are using cheaper offshore IT, and will demand cuts in the rates.
2)The number of hours billed is going increase significantly, due to the language barrier and requirments taking much longer to gather, understand, and translate.
3)The Government at some point is going step in and charge a tax.
4)There will be a backlash and lawsuits from clients once they realize that theire corporate and personnel information is being sold on ebay. Not to mention the "back doors" that will be programmed into the applications that will never be found until they are exploited(Especially the financial and banking application).
I am sure that it will be easy to find the guilty parties in some back alley in bangledesh, especially when they all have the same last name. Of course this is after they have informed their relatives in the US about insider information.

Eventually the patriotic companies that kept a US work force will swoop in and get all the business.
And around it goes....
