Offshore vs. Nearshore

September 26, 2008

In the past US companies outsourced IT and BPO work to lower wage countries like India, China, Philippians, etc. With the rising cost in lower wage countries companies started outsourcing to nearshore countries like Mexico, Canada, etc.  For the US companies nearshore gave the labor arbitrage and other benefits like same time-zone, cultural, and language, etc. Now Indian IT majors started opening their own centers in these countries, the distinction is blurring between offshore vs nearshore. Companies must pay close attention to Total cost of ownership (TCO) before making their decision between offshore vs nearshore.
