OFFSHORING WITH INTOGREAT VS OUTSOURCING

Published April 30, 2019

What is OFFSHORING?

Offshoring , essentially, is obtaining services or products from another country or re-locating certain aspects of a business overseas.

A company would choose to offshore because of cost savings, taxes & tariffs, and to increase capability while maintaining full control of your business operations.

YOUR PEOPLE

• Staff in the overseas office are your employees
• You control their work, KPIs, they report to your onshore line manager
• You select the people in your team
• Your staff working full-time and exclusively for you
• Our office, your way – it can be your own dedicated and fully-branded office

YOUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

• Your policies and procedures will be applied to your offshore staff

YOUR TOOLS

• You pick the IT assets and tools you want to deploy
  

What is OUTSOURCING?

Outsourcing can be defined as contracting work out to a third party company not necessarily overseas.

Outsourcing companies are specialists with significant experience and expertise in specific fields.

OUTSOURCING focuses on

• Driving Acquisition, Growth & Retention
• Enhancing Customer Experience
• Contact Centres
• IT Helpdesks
• Improving Efficiency and Quality
