Hot Topic: Offshoring and Nearshoring

The practice of outsourcing tasks for today’s businesses is at an all-time high. IT outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) top the list of industries relying on others to pitch in, save time and human resources, and get results. Today’s business owners are trying to find new ways to ensure maximum productivity and profitability, and sometimes, that means thinking out of the box and letting talent from around the world pitch in. Outsourcing also goes hand in hand with a workforce that can be adapted and run with remote work.
