Continuing the series of Offshore, Nearshore and Offshore IT Outsourcing, we take a deep dive into Onshore IT Outsourcing in this article. We mention 3 aspects: definition, advantages and disadvantages.
Onshore IT outsourcing means that the IT partner is located in the same country or region, sharing the same time zone. For example, a digital marketing agency in Vietnam partnered with a Chinese software development firm.
This method is normally more expensive than offshore and nearshoring, but it offers other benefits, including faster outcomes and better communication.
Because there is no time gap between the in-house staff and the extended team, communication is easy.
Minimum delivery time;
More investment opportunities in your core business operation.
Often more expensive;
Limited skills pool because you may only pick talents from within your country's boundaries.
