Organizations today are facing several challenges in attracting and retaining affordable, quality information technology talent, and believe a diversified approach to using IT talent is required. The employment market in the US has changed significantly since the 2020-21 pandemic, and remote work teams are more commonly used.

As they need to adopt newer leadership approaches to effectively incorporate remote talent into their operations, they also recognize that there are many approaches to using remote information technology talent. With each approach having its unique work management and cost considerations, to best balance the considerations around cost, capability, and control, they are looking for offshore talent models.
