No it doesn't, it calls into question how much redundant knowledge, code quality, documentation, and support the org values. Which 90% of the time for anything but features and UI appearance is no value. That allows the construction of micro-empires and dependence. Orgs either recognize that and provide resources, or they rely on shorter-term one man hero efficiencies, and pay the piper later. They paid the piper later. And who knows what "19" means. 19 offshores, so that's more like 6x the cost? And offshores are probably short term so they assume they'll hire one or two offshores long term which will ... maybe ... eventually get cheaper. That's the beancounter logic. So they think long term they saved money.
