Advantages Of Offshore Outsourcing

2. Offshore outsourcing teams

2.1 Onshore Outsourcing

Onshore outsourcing is the closest outsourcing to home because you are working with a company that is located in your home country. The advantage of onshore outsourcing is that you’re working with a highly skilled American team in your own country, but this option comes with a high price tag (hourly rates of far more than $100 are common). Onshore teams simply cannot compete with the prices of offshore and nearshore companies.

Another drawback of onshore outsourcing besides its price is that onshore companies often don't have the right talent available right away simply because they can’t afford to maintain any unoccupied workers. So when you hire an onshore company, you need take into account

However, there are many different types of communication. All are valuable, but some more so than others. Verbal communication is very important, but has a limited amount of value due to language, accent, and dialect limitations. Too much verbal communication can actually cause more confusion if all members of the relationship are not fluent in the same language and can clearly understand each other. Meetings are an integral part of business. They are also an integral part of working with offshore teams.

When that happens, a question that can be answered in five minutes by a colleague in the next cubicle might take until the next day. In fact, a one-day turnaround might be optimistic. If your problem or question is not understood, the back and forth can result in days passing before a problem is resolved — a disastrous situation for a project-critical issue.

Fortunately, the problems associated with an offshore time difference can be mitigated to some degree. The work schedules off shore can be shifted later, and/or the work in the States can be pushed up to increase the time for interactions. A 7:00 AM meeting may not be the way you would like to start the day, but your offshore counterpart may not be especially thrilled about staying late, either. The good news is that you really need to do this only when the need arises and not throughout the entire
