Outsourcing Vs Rightshoring: The Hidden Third Option:
The newest business strategy on the
block is rightshoring and it has proven to be so effective that outsourcing has
become a relic of the past now. Rightshoring is dividing up the workforce and
mixing up jobs to outsource and achieve maximum efficiency in the process.
Since its advent, this little strategy has been adopted by most businesses
across most countries, though it's still quite a fresh idea. Here are some of
the benefits that you can reap from Rightshoring:
More efficiency and productivity:
Outsourcing partners sometimes
specialize in certain services but when you outsource all of the jobs of a
particular project to them, you fail to utilize their skills to their best.
Rightshoring allows to you to pick and choose according to your partners’
specialization and outsource only certain jobs instead of the whole thing. This
way you and your outsourcing partner can easily maximize your efficiency and
your productivity as well.
Cost-effective:
Rightshoring proves to be more
cost-effective than outsourcing since you are not giving your overseas partners
whole projects; instead only small packets of work are being sent to them. The
rest of the work is covered in-house by your own workforce. This way expenses
fall and you can profit more from the same work.
Quality over quantity:
Outsourcing often reduces the quality
of work while providing a more cost-effective option. However, quality cannot
be sacrificed for money and nowadays companies want both. Rightshoring offers
an easy solution to this as you can perform all critical business in-house and
send other parts of the project to outsourcing partners. Hence you can be sure
of high-quality work every time since it's all being done, metaphorically
speaking, under your roof and in front of your eyes.
Customer service:
Customer service can also improve
since now, with more detailed information about your project you can provide
your customers with some real answers other than the standard customer
call-centre ones. This will make customer relations seem more transparent and
make no mistake customers love transparency. This little gesture will leave
your customers more satisfied and perhaps keep them coming back for future
projects as well.
Ultimately it’s all about balance.
Rightshoring may even be described as an evolved form of outsourcing. But It
certainly gives you more control over your project than outsourcing. Also, you
will need to have a deep understanding and knowledge of all levels of the
business world. Only then can you use rightshoring to its fullest extent and
give your rivals some serious competition.
