There has been a tendency in software development in traditional companies to follow the waterfall method. Make a glorified spec, hand it over to the company that develops it and hope they meet the budget and deadline. There is plenty of examples where that is not the case, but outsourcing to an entire different company does not lend itself readily to mingling with the outsourcing company to interfere with their process. I would love to outsource some of out development, but to align that work with our goals, I would need a full time senior dev with intimate knowledge of our company and customers working with them managing all they do. Otherwise it's not a given that we get the code quality that ensure we can evolve the software the way we need to in the future.
