Consutants not cheap
Not only IT, everything can be outsourced now a days. Everything except manufacturing can be outsourced. It all depends on the management. Can't we get a better CEO for lower price from another place if we need? It is called bean counters. They want to show profit, but actually the consultants are white elephants. All these companies are profit motivated, and they will try to milk as much as they can. Unfortunately, if there is no IT person to know, what they are doing, they will charge outrageous price for their work.
