Most importantly, do not leave your technical people out of the discussion and make sure the potential outsourcer sales people provide you with a truly technical person from their end to discuss your specific technical and business needs. "Yeah, we can do that" from a sales guy turns into, "well, that wasn't part of the scope" or "well, we're working on that" or "well, we didn't understand what you were asking"......all followed by.........wait for it.......... "that's going to run you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ extra" :) Good Luck, Leah
