Quoting Enterprise Systems/Stephen Swoyer:

A recent study from professional services giant Deloitte Consulting found that many one-time outsourcers are bringing it all back home, so to speak. The Deloitte study, "Calling a Change in the Outsourcing Market," found that 70 percent of survey participants reported having negative experiences with outsourcing projects. Almost half (44 percent) didn’t realize the expected cost savings, and a majority (62 percent) found that outsourcing requires a greater-than-expected degree of management and oversight.

As a result, Deloitte says, fully 25 percent of one-time outsourcers are bringing applications and services back in-house.
