The main reason was that the actual company coding our application was contracted to the company the we outsourced the development to.. bad idea! don't have anyone between you and your developers that's not working for you.. we had no transparency, no systems and terrible communication... ahh now that i got that off my chest.. second time around has been a dream.. we have contracted the new company based in India directly and our CTO and product lead liaise with them daily, in fact at the moment it's many times a day.. the key lessons have been, engage direct, use the right tools ( we use Atlassian products Jira and Confluence) and as Simon suggests treat them like they are part of your team/business.
