Many organizations today are making the sound decision to outsource. Through outsourcing, companies have reduced overall costs and increased service offerings to its users. It is not always easy or financially viable to have a team of IT experts at hand. By sharing the cost with other businesses, companies today can deliver highly trained, highly qualified professionals to their customers.
What is Near Shore?
Near Shore is a process of outsourcing
services to a company that is geographically
nearer than offshore locations. With
recent surveys indicating that between 50
to 60% of companies who outsourced their
support offshore feel that the benefits of
such a move did not meet initial expectations,
customers are looking for alternatives—
Near Shore support.
More companies are realizing that the cost
benefits of offshore outsourcing are not
always worth the effort when compared to
the costs of near shore outsourcing.
