The executives who think good developers are "expensive" are generally happy to throw gobs of money at BPO firms to do the job half as well as in-house staff for twice as much money.
Besides which, an employee with a fully-loaded cost of $200k/yr can be sent to a one-week external class for well under $15k including salary, tuition, travel, and expenses. That's far less than the cost of acquiring and onboarding that employee; and if you don't care to train your staff, they'll jump ship for an employer that doesn't suck the stars out of the sky.
