Re: Going on-site has certainly been made redundant in IT
I have witnessed with satisfaction a company that did this where my friend worked at.
After initial rosy few months, the outsourced team started missing deadlines and the quality of work nosedived. Turns out they moved their top developers to milk another company and assigned a team of juniors who barely knew what coding is. The company couldn't get themselves out of the contract for some reason. A year later they went bankrupt.
When it was happening the CEO (who had this brilliant idea) was spending more time in Ibiza than in the office, enjoying the savings he made for the company.
Oh...
