Onsite Onshore Offsite Offshore…… Outsourcing

Too many terms are being used and are confusing the decision makers thus making them reluctant to trust outsourcing. It’s good to outsource but at the same time it’s important to understand what these terms mean with or without relating to outsourcing.

Outsourcing means out-sourcing, i.e. giving a part of the organizational activity to another company, organization, or even sub-organization (a department within the organization) with mutual interest, so as to concentrate on core organizational activity (in which the organization has expertise) than working on auxiliary activities.

Onsite means the site where the activity is performed, for instance, “onsite” for a banking software is the back office where that software is actually being (or is being deployed for use).

Onshore means the same shore where the activity is performed. Same shore usually refers to the same continent.

Offsite means away from the site of activity.

Offshore means away from the shore of activity and not only site, so, offsite can either be onshore or offshore.

With endurance and experience, Verve Systems has evolved with appropriate combinations of onsite, onshore, offsite and offshore mechanisms to add optimum value to the outsourced activity in various industries and size of businesses.

Verve Systems has realised the importance of being onsite for crucial activities to minimize hassles and operating from offshore for man power dependent activities to maximize savings; and has helped its clients to ensure well managed execution of outsourced activities and significant savings thus leading to quantitative as well as qualitative results of outsourcing.
