Outsourcing refers to an organization contracting work out to a 3rd party, while offshoring refers to getting work done in a different country, usually to leverage cost advantages. It's possible to outsource work but not offshore it; for example, hiring an outside law firm to review contracts instead of maintaining an in-house staff of lawyers. It is also possible to offshore work but not outsource it; for example, a Dell customer service center in India to serve American clients. Offshore outsourcing is the practice of hiring a vendor to do the work offshore, usually to lower costs and take advantage of the vendor's expertise, economies of scale, and large and scalable labor pool.

When we relocate, we keep the activity within the company but we move it from one geographical point to another (we close a factory or a service in a country or a region, and we have the activity done in another factory or other group service, elsewhere).

Outsourcing
Outsourcing refers to obtaining certain services or products from a third party company, essentially sourcing something like accounting services or manufacturing of a certain input to another company. While many think outsourcing refers to using a service provider in another (usually cheaper) country that is not necessarily the case. Outsourcing can be done to a company that is located anywhere, the location isn't important.

Offshoring
Offshoring refers to obtaining services or products from another country, and is often what news articles are really referring to when they discuss outsourcing. While much offshoring involves outsourcing production to another company it can also refer to simply re-location certain aspects of a business to another country. The services and products are all still provided in the same country, but they are now in another country. For example, when a car manufacturer in the U.S. opens a factory in Thailand to make certain parts they are offshoring, as everything is still happening within the same company.

One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of the global supply chain is the difference between offsourcing and outsourcing. A surprisingly large proportion of the general public confuse these terms. But they are distinct concepts.

Procurement Leaders research finds that consumers often use business terms without a fine degree of differentiation. In the main, they are viewed negatively and all representative of the malignant campaign of corporations to 'screw over the little guy'. Often, they don't see the difference at all between 'outsourcing' or 'offshoring'.

Outsourcing and offshoring are two terms commonly used in the business world, but they have different meanings.

Outsourcing is the process of contracting with a third-party company or individual to perform a business function that would otherwise be done in-house. For example, a company may outsource its accounting, customer service, or manufacturing to a third-party provider.

Offshoring, on the other hand, is a type of outsourcing where a company contracts with a provider located in a foreign country to perform the work. The work that is offshored may be the same type of work that would be outsourced domestically, such as manufacturing or customer service.

Therefore, the key difference between outsourcing and offshoring is that outsourcing refers to the act of contracting with a third-party provider to perform work, while offshoring specifically refers to the act of contracting with a provider located in a foreign country to perform the work.
