I thought you were an American company and here you go outsourcing jobs to India. I myself work IT and serve AMERICA. This is just wrong, wrong, wrong. People here hate when they have to talk to our India counterparts; they are relieved when they hear someone speaking GOOD english on the line. This is a BIG mistake!
Harley-Davidson Inc. announced plans Tuesday to outsource its information technology services to Infosys, in a move that will affect about 125 employees companywide.
Infosys, an Indian technology services firm, said it signed a five-year agreement to provide support services to the motorcycle manufacturing company.
Although about 125 information technology jobs will be eliminated at Harley, the affected employees will have an opportunity to apply for other jobs at Infosys and Harley, both companies said.
Harley has eight information technology workers at its Kansas City manufacturing plant, and three of those positions are being eliminated, said Harley spokeswoman Maripat Blankenheim. The company has 846 employees altogether in Kansas City.
Infosys is opening a Milwaukee facility this fall that it said will create 125 jobs, including 71 for Harley-Davidson work. In addition, Blankenheim said Harley is creating 68 new information technology jobs as a result of the changes in its operating structure.
