The company which I used to work for (it has a very large and very complex CF application written to manage HR and disability data for Fortune 500 companies) outsourced to India. It was not nearly as successful as one would have hoped. The people looked good on paper (many with MS in Computer Science) but their sense of quality is a little bit different from what is expected here. It is also extremely difficult communicating with them, even despite the time difference. In the end, we spent more time (both theirs and experienced staff here) helping them finish projects. Many projects were overdue and over budget. This company we outsourced to is a well known and well respected company as well.
