Nearshore, offshore, and onshore are the top outsourcing models. - Onshore: Outsourcing services with a team located in the same country whose headquarters or business operations are usually in a different city.  - Nearshore: Outsourcing services to a company in a different country but sharing similar time zones and cultural affinity. A more cost-effective solution than other types of outsourcing, and it ensures the same level of expertise as in-house teams. - Offshore: When a company outsources projects to a company in a different country, with an opposite time zone.
