There's also quality - the concept of getting what you pay for. I've worked with a couple of offshore teams in a technical capacity, and only one understood delivery of a quality product. The manager/owner of the team spent considerable time in America before returning to India, so he was able to provide a quality product without the string of cultural issues that so often crop up.

I realize the offshore concept is more far-reaching than mere software development; my mother is constantly complaining about phone tech support from software companies. But I think it all boils down to quality. If there's a tech support person providing phone support who can't be understood, that's another quality issue.

About 5 years back, my boss at the time said that we tech folks shouldn't worry about whether we'll have jobs - we should focus on the fact that if the offshoring trend continues, we'll have DIFFERENT jobs...meaning that we'll be doing much more analysis and less development. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is that the quality issue permeates the software product as a whole, right down to the error messages.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

Outsourcing will save you a great deal of money and it is the only option to lead you through the turbulent financial storm. India, China, Philippines etc are some of the hot destinations in the realm of outsourcing.
