Defining Outsourcing vs. Offshore Outsourcing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before we dive into the definition of offshore outsourcing, let\u2019s establish a clear understanding of both outsourcing and offshoring. You\u2019ve probably heard the terms \u2018outsourcing\u2019 and \u2018offshoring\u2019 used interchangeably; in fact, we often use them interchangeably here at ClikGlobal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outsourcing<\/em><\/strong> is \u201cto obtain goods or services from an outside source\u201d (Dictionary.com<\/a>). In other words, outsourcing simply means having a third-party company complete the work for a company. For example, a software development company may outsource development services from another company in the same city to supplement their existing team.<\/p>\n

In contrast to outsourcing, offshoring<\/em><\/strong> is \u201cthe practice of moving employees or certain business activities to foreign countries as a way to lower costs, avoid taxes, etc.\u201d (Dictionary.com<\/a>). In this way, offshoring always occurs outside of the country a company is based in. That being said, with offshoring, the company retains control of the overseas operations.<\/p>\n

With these definitions in mind, we can bring the two together to understand offshore outsourcing<\/em><\/strong>. While there is no formal definition for this term, it could be described as follows: when a company acquires services or goods from talent located in a foreign country, typically overseas, but retains control over the talent providing those services or goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
