ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 95
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 95 of 100
Offshore outsourcing means contracting system development, operation, or other work to a company or subsidiary in another country. Organizations may use it to access skills, expand capacity, reduce cost, or support round-the-clock work, while managing language, time-zone, legal, security, and coordination risks.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) Hosting provides infrastructure or application operation on a provider's systems and does not imply an overseas contractor
- (c) Onshore outsourcing uses an external provider in the same country
- (d) System integration combines components into a functioning system
Key rule: Offshore describes the overseas location of outsourced work; onshore keeps outsourced work within the home country.
