offshorer

An organization that sends work abroad, hiring foreign labour as a substitute for local labour.

Is the offshorer's management committed to send the development offshore? If the offshorer is a software company developing the system for a customer, the customer might object to offshoring.

An organization that accepts offshored work from others.

HPI practitioners can help identify the cultural norms and traditions and can provide training in the work processes that will be shared. We can study any breakdowns that occur between the organization and the offshorer, to determine their root causes and propose solutions to those issues. We can establish measures that can be used to evaluate the performance of the offshorer.
