Oddly enough, if the originators of the project had the level of detail required to run an offshore project, the costs domestically would be evened out.

 

Additionally, to use a popular buzzword "Total Cost of Ownership" the experience I've had with offshore work shows increased maintenence costs, further skewing the cost of domestic labor/output.

 

Remember the car "Yugo"?  It had all the features of a regular car, and at a lessor cost......

It's very disturbing. And to top it off I've not run into one project done
offshore that cost less. Everyone had ended up costing more because of
increased project mgt. and extended development times.
