[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has been my experience as a software engineer that most projects outsourced to foreign companies have had disastrous results. The contractors don't seem to have the skills to perform the job and they don't have the personal and professional dedication to see the project succeed. IT is the worst because someone who works for another company could not care less that the network is down for days at a time. It's not their bottom line that is at risk.[/quote]

Then why do companies keep hiring them?  I'm asking genuinely.  I'm assuming the answer would be "to save money" but if it's not working well, then why do it?[/quote]
It's a management decision, not a technical decision. They think they can save money. IT is traditionally an expensive department to maintain that does not appear to produce any income. Management thinks they can outsource the whole department as a way of managing the costs of the employees and equipment. Additionally, they do it because other companies are doing it and they think it's a requirement to stay competitive. The guy in the article who was  praised for saving the company a lot of money did so out of loyalty and pride in his work. Nobody in the new company will have enough loyalty and pride to perform at the same level. In the end, you and I will not hear about the outcome of Disney's little experiment but five years from now, none of the new employees will be working there.[/quote]
