The key, of course, is an onshore developer who can manage the offshore guys/gals. It's not always a sure thing, of course, but used effectively. I'd maintain that you can save a lot... maybe 50%? best case? by offshoring. Please tell me if you disagree- I've never known your stance on offshoring dev work. At the same time I'm not sure you've know the financials. Let's just assume the offshore bill rate is 20% of the onshore. In other words, 5 offshore = 1 onshore. Is it cost effective?
