3. Offshoring and other
cost optimization
models
Offshoring is the strategy of moving business processes,
services or production from one country to another, usually
to reduce costs.
Unlike outsourcing, which is based on outsourcing specific tasks,
offshoring means transferring these tasks abroad. A characteristic
feature of offshoring is also the choice of neighboring countries,
often due to a similar culture and language.

4. Benefits
• Lower Labor Costs • Business Scalability
• Access to Skilled Workforce
Moving some of its business
operations abroad gives a company
the chance to acquire qualified
employees.
In many countries, labor
costs are much lower than in
developed countries.
Offshoring enables companies to
increase business scalability by
accessing more employees and
infrastructure overseas.

5. Challenges and Risks of
Offshoring
Language and Cultural Barrier:
Service quality risk:
Loss of Process Control:
Moving business operations abroad can create communication and culture
difficulties between employees from different countries.
Offshoring can lead to quality of service issues, so companies need
to closely monitor processes and services to ensure that they are
performed at the expected level.
Moving some operations abroad may result in a loss of
control over these processes.

lower labor costs and English-proficient employees for better
communication.
IT offshoring to countries like India and the Philippines with skilled IT
professionals and competitive labor costs.
