observation made during Pegasystems training

In a couple of my last posts I discussed the IT jobs that are moving to India. I am close to wrapping up two very intense weeks of training in this software produced by Pegasystems. Hence, I have spent the past 2 weeks in the area across the street from MIT in Cambridge MA, 5 miles from Boston. The observation is just that several (half) of the class is Indian, with some Asian mix. When I graduated from George Mason University (in 2000), out of the hundreds of people graduating with a technical masters of science degree, very few had last names I could pronounce (I mean something like 10 out of 1,000). I am just saying this because it suports some of what the author says in the book "My Job Moved to India and All I Got Was This Lousy Book". We Americans really cannot afford to be complacent.

Thanks. I don't mean to sound prejudiced; I really am not. I've just made a simple observation that Americans are slow to study technical subjects and that the bulk of intellectual knowledge is being gained and has been for quite a long while by non-Americans. Yet we are slow too wake up to realize this. Some people are going to experience a rude shock when they discover they are no longer as employable as they once assumed.

I partially agree with Rene about his comments,its a fact that Indians are very Intelligent,as for as pega PRPC is concern,Pega prpc is a current industry leading BPM software platform.Pega is a BPM tool from Pega systems that is gaining good market share among large corporations.I don't know how much Rene got charged for pega,but you can get Pega Training at affordable price from different training providers.I got trained from www.sureonlinetraining.com
