In the latest Computing podcast, we explore the issues behind the week's big stories.
Standard Life is reviving its offshoring strategy in a bid to reduce costs and gain more flexibility in application development so that new products are brought to market faster. The insurance group had a unsatisfactory experience with its previous offshore software development partner two years ago - we examine what it has learned from the past.
And after the pre-Budget report, we discuss how the government's record borrowing might affect its IT spending, and in particular if the high-profile ID cards and NHS programmes might be affected.
