UK likes Nearshoring

News.com reports nearshore outsourcing to Eastern bloc countires by the United Kingdom is favored as opposed to offshore destinations like India.

"The projected growth, however, is still relatively small when compared with the size of the traditional offshore market, particularly in India. Datamonitor forecasts that outsourced call center positions in the European nearshore regions of Central and Eastern Europe and North Africa are set to rise from 4,400 in 2003 to 13,700 by 2008."

"To put this into context, the Indian city of Bangalore alone currently employs around 60,000 people in its business process outsourcing (BPO) call centers."
