Onshore vs. Offshore vs. Freelance Development
Unleash growth potential with the Power of Outsourcing
In today’s fast-paced, competitive world, businesses need every advantage in every facet of work. That’s where outsourcing steps in effectively. It’s not just about cost-cutting, it’s about unlocking a vast pool of talent, expertise, and flexibility to propel a business forward.
The process of Outsourcing
Outsourcing is an agreement between two or more organizations in which one company hires another company to take over and be responsible for planned or existing activities which otherwise could have been carried out internally, i.e. in-house. This sometimes also involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another for the sake of the tasks at hand.
Employees are also transferred as FTE or Dedicated Full-Time Employees who work from offsite offices or client locations.
The following two tables will help understand the advantages of working with an Offshore Outsourcing Organization at a glance!

The Freelance Story
As a different form of outsourcing, Freelancing is a form of employment where an individual offers his skills and services to clients on a project-by-project basis, rather than being on the company payroll. There are several freelancing websites with registered freelancers. The organizations could hire developers, content writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and a lot more as per business requirements. The charges, skills, and other details are available on the Website, which could be negotiated and/or finalized among the trading parties. Here are some key things to know about freelancing:
Key characteristics
Self-employed
An individual is his boss and is responsible for finding clients, managing the workload, and paying taxes.
Project-based
A freelancer typically works on individual projects for different clients at different times.
Flexible
The individual can set his work hours and location, offering great autonomy and work-life balance.
Diverse opportunities
Freelancing allows working in a wide variety of fields and projects, depending on the skills and experience.
