The next wave: Refining the future of offshoring

Abstract

Offshoring, the process of relocating discrete business functions or processes to foreign locations, is rapidly expanding. Offshoring integrally links real estate decisions to business strategy, offering corporate real estate (CRE) professionals an opportunity to advise and perform at the highest levels of their organisations. Fulfilling this degree of strategic leadership requires knowledge of the issues, opportunities, challenges and tactics involved in the offshoring process. This paper analyses the views and experience of CRE executives involved in offshoring, and prepares the reader to think strategically, act proactively and employ best practices to achieve future success with offshoring.
