I love the talking heads who insist that the old way will always be that way..

I rather be in a growing, dynamic niche than competing in a mature, mainstream market.

Technology history is full of example after example of today’s niche companies being the leaders of a new market category.

OnShoring is still under most people’s radar; but that is changing.

Jobs like call center are outsourced due to cost advantage between developed countries and India, China, etc. Now with the slow economy companies are hire employees with comparable rate to offshore workers, so companies want to take advantage of this situation and bring back the call center jobs to the countries where there customers are physically located.

Why would a company consider back / reverse outsourcing? In these hard economic times saving the time and financial resources that would normally be spent in recruitment, training and retaining professionals is what outsourcing of non-core items would help institutions achieve. Outsourcing wouldn't hurt a country. On the contrary it would help create more better paying jobs. That is what policy makers have failed to understand. Companies like Accurate Africa eServices even offer free trial periods to clients. Free services still exist!

Tell me why would anyone — other than those NOT outsourcing — resort to “dubious results and questionable savings”? What good will that serve to their interests? And, even if there are a few companies that are winding up their offshore operations, we doubt they constitute a significant number — else this whole outcry against outsourcing would have died out a long time ago!

This may be true for a good piece of the work that goes offshore, however I believe there is more than a niche’s worth that can be done onshore. In the case of our company, Saturn Systems, we are a rural outsourcing software engineering firm that specializes in custom software solutions for business and government. We have been involved with a number of customers who have returned to domestic resources due to dubious results and questionable savings.
