We outsourced the user-interface software for a project to Wipro. They had folks on-site and in India. It was a disaster. The programmers were border line incompetent, turn-around time on bug fixes was slow due to the time difference and frequent religious holidays and the resultant code so poorly written as to be unmaintainable.
Latent bugs discovered by a customer almost cost us a mjor contract. Now all our code is written and tested in house by folks who care about the quality of their work and have a stake in the success of our company.

That used to be the driving force in American business - until greed took over as the driving force.
