| Oct 6 at 10:44 | comment | added | TimR | This is a relatively new (last 20 years or so) phenomenon,at least on the international scale, where companies "offshore" the work and it is done remotely, and the terminology has changed over that time. I don't think any of the names I've seen have gained much traction. In the US, for many, "outsourcing" has negative connotations, so companies tend to avoid referring to themselves in that way. Such companies used to be called "head shops" here in the US, a somewhat pejorative term. | |

| Oct 6 at 8:47 | comment | added | Sergey Zolotarev | @MichaelHarvey doesn't "outsourcing" imply providing services (e.g. software development and maintenance) rather than providing people who deliver those services on the customers' premises? I referred to the latter | |
