having worked in IT my entire career, and having dealt with outsourced staff for a vast portion of that time all I can say is this, depending on how you utilize overseas talent, it can be very benificial, or even more so detrimental to your day to day operations and/or long term projects. For an example, the Union employed folk were among the first to be hit by the outsourced program... to be completely honest with you, I don't necisarily disaggree with the Unions, but if you break the situation down logically... why pay somone $25 an hour to bolt car parts together at half effort, where you could pay someone overseas half as much (if that), to do a better job than your local staff? now granted, communications between your company and the outsourced company will fluxuate depending on your chosen path, but, if you go with the right outsourced company, you do have a good probability of receiving comperable work, at a fraction of the cost.
