In the last decade companies have got comfortable with the concept of de-coupling. In de-coupling, services are consumed from where services are developed and delivered. The sheer ability to leverage resources in countries with much lower cost of living and wage structures is indeed very tempting for businesses.

However, there are many challenges with managing a productive global workforce in any type of dynamic environment. Not many enterprises have been able to gain the commensurate benefits of off-shoring. To overcome challenges of off-shoring concepts, inshore IT services were introduced by IT outsourcing companies.

In order to create the most efficient domestic service delivery alternative, companies can choose to use the ‘Inshoring' model. This is a ‘Lean Service Factory' model that provides efficient service operations. It is based on service delivery frameworks that create integration and collaboration between business and IT and, works with efficient tools and solutions to accelerate time-to-value of service operations.

There are service partners who offer inshore services which can be executed in a short span of time. The Inshoring approach provides risk mitigation from loss of competitive advantage, by ensuring sustainability of knowledge, as well as ongoing internal organization development by leveraging the power of domestic IT sourcing.

The following are the benefits of using the new Inshoring concept.

1. A dedicated technology or process center of expertise is provided, which allows customers the ability to flexibly develop an offsite extension of their organization.

2. A managed service engagement is offered where the service partner leverages his own tools, processes and resources to manage programs on the basis of operational SLAs.

3. There is provision of cloud-based, on-demand services, which transitions customer processes onto standards based, multi-tenant, web-native infrastructure.

Using Inshoring services, companies can enjoy complete optimization of resources and high operational efficiency.
