Inshoring edit

Inshoring mat be thought of as the 'opposite' of Offshoring. It is the business process outsourcing work domestically. This process typically applies to the US and the UK.

Successful inshoring takes advantage of cost disparities within the domestic market. For example, for software companies not located in metropolitan areas with high costs of living, there is a real opportunity to compete on price with other domestic software companies. It simply costs less to do business in the Midwest than it does in New York or Los Angeles. A Midwest company can charge more than it does locally and yet still undercut the competition on the coasts. If work can be shipped overseas, it can just as easily be shipped across the Mississippi.[1][1]
