I know European law, I recall England limits external hosting of UK citizens' data outside England.

For example, it doesn't take an in depth understanding of US labor law to make master data changes to employee records; something usually relegated to HR admins in most businesses. If this is the "nugget" they're after, then I think they will succeed. However, it's the consultative function of HR that is, in my assessment, nearly impossible to migrate without having dire consequences back on home soil. For exaple, I can't imagine EVER seeing international collaboration with service providers for collective bargaining. But then again, I've seen stranger things in our business...
