The company I work for outsourced their project to an India company. It was set to take them 8 months to complete. It took them 2 years to complete. They finally hired me on to take over the project. I rewrote the thing in 6 months. For some reason they chose to use Open Laszlo and asp. They made an open Laszlo version and an asp version. The time zone made communication annoying and bug testing just didn't work. We would put in a bug report using excel sheets and email them back and forth. it was really messy and unproductive. They would say things were working when they weren't then try to bill the company for more hours to fix bugs. The code was complete garbage and they managed to take advantage or the company I work for because they didn't know any better. Needless to say they lost quite a bit of money. I suspect that this happens all the time. A company wants something done and they go to india because they will do it for dirt cheap. Just like us after dealing with the on-going problems they probably wont outsource to India again.
