That's what many companies have learned, the ROI is much lower then promised or goes negative when deliverables aren't meet. The promises that were made turn out to be a nightmare because unlike replacing an employee(s) the effort of replacing a company that you have turned things over to can be quiet daunting if they weren't smart enough to purchase the code.
