There is no secret deal with AK and (fill in the world leader). Workforce efficiencies have pretty much equalized around the world. (IBM hires 1 for 1 no matter who they replace) India much more than the rest of the world, made very large long term educational investments 20 years ago, and those investments are now yielding results. The evolution of the internet allowing wo [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] rkers to work from anywhere has also had a large impact. As such if IBM can replace workers 1 for 1 and hire the replacement for less, the cost savings drops to the bottom line. If you are the CFO, this practice prints money. Until worker replacement doesnt print money, expect more of the same behavior. I expect this practice to settle at a NA head count in the 30k range and a Northern Europe headcount in the 25k range. There wi [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] ll always be on shore personnel (plants need to be filled, face to face needs to be done, govt and some essential accounts will want nationals assigned, SW will always be harvesting local innovation, etc etc), so there is only so far the CFO can push this before he has to find another money printing machine. Why do you think AK and the CFO constantly chat up AI. Its the next money printer as it will replace repetitive tasks. It [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] s been slow off the mark, but the last year has shown its finding its feet.
