The best outsourcers fire themselves • The Register

'My rule of thumb, then, with outsourcing software development, is to ask the outsourcer what their plan to fire themselves is. ', "Commonly, a friend told me as I was sailing slices of rare steak through L'Entrecôte’s green sauce, outsourced projects boomerang back to the in-house staff."

'In the same analysis, Fersht suggests that there’s a ray of light for outsourcers if they, themselves, can only transform. '

'Bringing in outsourcers is proof that the organisation already mistrusted its in-house IT. Inevitably, the usual causes of failure - ever changing requirements, overly ambitious deadlines and budgets, etc - will plague the outsourcers’ efforts. '

'The outsourcer is wonderful, sure, but we need to make sure it holds up their end of the bargain. '

Atlassian hikes prices for most cloudy JIRA and Confluence users • The Register

"If you were one of those who asked for it, here's what you're getting: for monthly users, Atlassian currently offers flat prices for organisations with more than 10 users and seven tiers."

'The new tiers mean that you pay the same price for users 11-100, then the same price for users 101-250 and so on up the tiers, rather than the lowest applicable rate for all users. ', "There's some silver lining in this cloud, as JIRA Service Desk prices are also going down for all users and pricing for the 1-10 user tier of other products remains unchanged.", " Atlassian thinks those customers won't have trouble swallowing the change: its announcement of the hike says “We fundamentally believe that even with these price changes, we're still the value leader in the market.”. ®", "Sean Regan, the company's head of product marketing for JIRA, told The Register the change is the first in six years, during which time Atlassian has added numerous features and increased its R&D spend."
