    Calling all Oracle contractors

    It's time to take some back!

    The Indian state owned government are looking to spend 500 crore (= 500 million Rupees = 128 million USD = £65 million) on a new IT system with Oracle.

    I say it's time we outsource some jobs over here, or failing that, we should go over there and take their jobs!

    No idea what the taxation system is like, but at least the weather is warm

    Government sector enterprises such as the ministry of finance, Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd, BSNL and Indian Railways will spend nearly $3 billion or Rs11,850 crore this year on buying new software, hardware and services

    You get to have servants so no menial household chores i.e. making the bed.

      Plus, if we can work in Goa, we could all go and visit AP!

        Put me down, for sure. Worked in Bangalore a few years back and loved it.

          I'm in! I've always wanted to explore that area.

            I'm a bit more in favour of off shoring it (i.e. me working from home for a change), but if I have to go somewhere hot and sunny for work, then so be it.

            We should form a new consultancy and tender for the work.

            "Bodgeit & Scarper" sounds like it might work for this one.

              TBH, they'll probably need help - I'm sure I have met every last mother ******' Indian DBA over about the last 5 years... Grummel.

                I did my DBA OCP in India this year.

                Guy running the training course was saying that he was aiming for his Oracle Certified Master this year (claims his cousin is one). Not a chance in Hell will he get it - nice guy, knew the training materials well, but had no real world experience as a DBA, and had problems answering some questions that a real DBA would know.
