Topics:
- Offshoring vs outsourcing
- How offshoring creates opportunities for onshore team members
- Using offshoring to grow
- Communicating with team members
Quotes:

It will allow us to scale and not degrade the quality of client service.
I think it benefits our team by advancing them to learn other skills. So it’s probably more the balance that our team here aren’t just stuck in the same role for three years, doing the same compliance work, doing the same data entry stuff.
I think you’ve got to look at it from a bigger picture point of view and see that it actually creates opportunities both for people in the Philippines, but it creates a lot of opportunities here.
