ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 93
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 93 of 100
Farming system development or operation out to a company or subsidiary in another country is offshore outsourcing. Organizations may use it to access skills, capacity, time-zone coverage, or lower costs, while managing communication, legal, security, and geopolitical risks.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- hosting provides computing facilities or server operation without necessarily involving overseas work
- onshore outsourcing uses a provider in the same country
- system integration combines components and services into a working system
Key rule: Offshore identifies overseas delivery; outsourcing identifies work performed by an external provider or remote affiliated operation.
