Benefits of Nearshore Outsourcing

Nearshore outsourcing offers many benefits over domestic and offshore outsourcing alternatives.  In general, nearshore outsourcing falls in the middle of these other two alternatives in terms of cost and risk.  There is little argument that certain tasks can be performed well at a lower cost overseas and that there are certain tasks that simply require a person onsite for an extended period of time.  However, the vast majority of IT tasks fall somewhere in the middle, where direct interaction with resources is necessary on a regular basis and where the level of risk and priority is high enough that an overseas solution is not viable.
