Nearsourcing vs. Offshore

May 3, 2011
2:30 pmto5:00 pm

We all know about offshoring and some of the issues surrounding this business strategy. To address some of the issues of offshoring, organizations are now looking to bring operations closer to home, creating the current trend of nearsourcing.

What is nearsourcing? As the name implies, nearsourcing is about moving a segment of your business to a near outside organization. This growing trend provides organizations with the ability to reduce costs and become more flexible, responsive and adaptable in this constantly changing marketplace.

Is nearsourcing for your organization? Join us and learn more about how nearsourcing can benefit your organization and help you make the decision to bring operations home or maintain the status quo.
