I managed an off-shore not out-sourced dev team for 2.5 years, and personally found them to be totally lacking in any sort of innovative or pre-emptive thought.
Spec and functional detail coming out of their ears and they just can't think outside the box.
Any minor issues came back to the UK for further changes and more sign-off.
Give them some ability to fix a minor issue, correct a small omission from the spec and they would have been more useful, even if they would accept verbal clearance to do it.
Its just all ass covering and ducking any responsibility whatsoever.
