Offshoring IT work can have both positive and negative consequences. One positive consequence is that it can lower costs for the company outsourcing the work. It can also provide access to a larger pool of skilled workers.

However, there are also negative consequences, such as potential communication difficulties and cultural differences, as well as the potential loss of jobs for workers within the organisation.

Ultimately, whether offshoring IT work is a positive or negative decision would depend on the specific circumstances and how the outsourcing is managed.
