"I was unhappy with the architecture and code quality from our offshore vendor. Replacing them with Howdy engineers was a success. We immediately saw better quality and results."  — Lee Pointer, VP of Engineering at Swyft Filings

Many outsourcing firms promise savings upfront. But those savings disappear fast when the work needs to be redone. Low-quality code, misaligned architecture, and constant rework make "cheap" outsourcing one of the most expensive mistakes a company can make.

Why cheap solutions fail in the long run

Every time work needs to be redone, companies pay twice. First for the original output, then again to fix the mistakes. Beyond budget, there are bigger costs: missed deadlines, frustrated teams, and lost opportunities to innovate.
