Right-shore

Even EDS, which had a sizeable representation in Adelaide under the former government (having won a contract to handle all government ICT outsourcing), has now 'right-shored' its South Australian operations to a significant extent, after the current state government's change of its outsourcing policy to one in which government ICT activities are outsource predominantly to interstate and offshore companies.

Thanks to technology, organizations are able to outsource, 'off-shore' or 'right-shore' key parts of their operations which they believe can be done more cheaply and effectively elsewhere.

The objective should be to 'right-shore', that is, integrate the domestic, near-shore and off-shore processes so that logistics can operate within one plan for all the supply chains.
