If continue talking about outsourcing trends, then some words should be said about such phenomenon as rightshoring, which starts gaining its popularity.
Is it a new type of outsourcing, like offshoring, inshoring, nearshoring? Well, not exactly. In fact, rightshoring is an approach to outsourcing which lies in finding a mix of off-shore, in-shore, and nearshore outsourcing models. This approach is believed to be a strategic best practice which helps find an outsourcing solution that would fit each client’s individual needs.
- Rightshoring is based on the analysis of all project-related factors, and considers several steps to identify the right -shore location for a particular part of a project:
- Search and gathering project-related information, including development team size, frameworks in use, technical requirements, application vitality for business, and others;
- Analysis of the information and mapping it against potential locations – in-shore, off-shore, and nearshore – to identify the best combination for customer’s project;
- Choosing the best combination of outsourcing locations taking into account all the analyzed factors;
Thus, rightshoring is about organizing the distributed delivery process embracing most of existing outsourcing models, it is about strategy and flexibility.
