In the developing world, you have traffic North Americans couldn't comprehend unless they'd been there. Very few people that we employ have the means to live within a close vicinity of an office.

And we then engage with that talent, with those staff, and they work directly then for those other companies. In simple terms, what it means is a company from the US goes, I need someone to do this job rather than looking for someone in the surrounding five mile radius who can come to an office every day and you're limited to the depth of talent.

I was in the manufacturing industry and at that time in Australia, I was manufacturing for a global market. I couldn't get the engineering expertise and resources in Australia at the time that I needed in terms of the designing the machines that I was looking to manufacture. And that led me to build an offshore engineering team at that time.
