It's my opinion that system adminstration is more than working with computers. There is a social/human interaction component of working with your customers and delivering what's best for them. You might even want to go to lunch and have a beer with them. When administration services are remoted to far off lands in differing time zones, this is largely lost, resulting in diminished level of service and commitment.
