I've but anecdotes for both sides of the coin. Offshore development tends to be cheap and lovely, with my anecdote being a company that contracted such a firm for a company-wide intranet portal. It technically worked, but I'd venture to guess that some network drives and just CCing the entire company would have been a better alternative for intra-company communication and document storage. I think that sacked it after 2 years. The cost was somewhere in the realm of several hundred thousand dollars for 14 months of work that they got rid of in about as much time. The actual total cost was probably north of $2m if you consider organizational costs and lost time/wages etc. On the flipside, I know a company that contracted a few US engineers for north of $6,000 / engineer / week. They apparently kicked rear end and I think that most of those engineers eventually got hired into the company as staff/principles later. You get what you pay for as it turns out.
