For the past 10 years, I have used outsourcing technology partners. There are many ways to screw it up (it's simple), but if you work hard enough, you can make it work. In the early 2000s, I had two large subs doing data entry work for me, each with a staff of about 200 people.
First You must be able to clearly identify what you want, whether it is a specification, outcome, functional design, or something else. If you can't figure it out, request a budget and pay for it up front. If you clearly define what you want, both parties will know what the end result will be.
Second, communication is essential! Make yourself available to work with your team on their schedule, and figure out where they stand in relation to your local teams. Most contractors are aware of the time difference for their customers, but they are not always available. Make it clear from the start that they must contact you once per week.
