They say you get what you pay for and you will be getting screwed. I hope this 5 year contract flys by fast or if they don't measure up, I hope you can cancel the contract. Luckily I do not work in one of the Harley Davidson stores and call for support. I really feel for their people now.

Harley Davidson restructuring information technology services
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.
