CO-sourcing versus Outsourcing
Co-sourcing is a relatively new model in the industry compare to classic outsourcing
It offers to clients a full control over the staff (dedicated team), with complete salary costs transparency, a mix of in-house and outsourced team working together with full support services from the vendor size. Our company can set up co-sourcing for very large operation.
