What you get with India and a process stack.

One of the things our corporate parents like to do is outsource most of their IT to India (I personally have come to love the India culture and it’s people, but I will admit it takes some getting used to, I digress). They have a model I’ve been told is something like 70/70 (70% of IT should be outsourced, and 70% of the outsourced, should be offshore)

Our corporate parents love a strict process, like manufacturing, and they continually think it’s applicable to IT. Given that you can define a strict road map for each process, you should be able to have anyone follow that process – right? This is what makes them think that you can take any IT job and move it to India (again, you might be able to, but not the way they do it). With this concept, you end up with is a set of people in India who know a set of processes, not the technology and nothing more. So anything outside of the process set, you get, well, crap.
