Better to check the agreement very thoroughly. I would want to know, before signing, what is covered *after* the contract has been signed. You might be surprised at what you'll be paying for a few weeks down the road after the contract has been signed and you need *x* to be investigated, solved, implemented, upgraded, etc... for you by the outsourcer. I'm willing to bet that a lot of companies get hit with hidden fee's down the line where it becomes evident that outsourcing is ending up costing more that was originally thought.

He thinks that if you move to the outsourcer system you no longer pay the fees. It comes as a shock to him. I suggested he ask the outsourcer directly about this.
