I honestly can't see it working without core technology managers and implementers from the home location being on-site at least 1 week in 3 (I generally was on-site every other week for 5 full days), and a project driver with executive management authority on-site at least once every 6 weeks. Without executive and real technical management (not "project management") there is generally neither the incentive nor the knowledge at the division to get the job done.<br /><br />I've posted before about the use of outside consultants, but even if it is believed necessary to use them without strong knowledgeable internal management (again, not "project management") what you have described is exactly what will happen every time. <br /><br />I feel your pain, but I have to wonder what your organizations executive management team is thinking in making these decisions.
