Analyst Comments on NearShore

•   In many companies there is an imperative to do offshore outsourcing because of the cost and quality benefits. During 2003, more companies than ever before will use remote programming and business processing resources to support their corporate goals. These companies must understand the latest trends in global outsourcing in order get the most business value from these relationships.

•   Mexico will emerge as a strong nearshore outsourcing alternative for North American companies as companies look to accommodate an ever increasing piece of their IT portfolio using lower cost remote resources, they will find Mexico a useful alternative for projects or systems that are not suited to long-distance offshore outsourcing.
