outsourcing vs offshoring

[tanregio]

I really wish everybody would stop equating "outsourcing" with "offshoring." Outsourcing itself isn't bad (it's how I have my job), but offshoring is when you outsource overseas. They're not the same thing.

So please, whenever you're tempted to write "outsourcing" write "offshoring" instead.

The rewards and risks of offshore business process outsourcing are just beginning to be understood. Offshore/Overseas: BPO talent is located in a different country, such as the Philippines, where language capabilities and skill sets are comparable to those. Whereas outsourcing is the exporting of related work from the overseas and other developed countries to work for you. Learn more here: OBP bpo services
