Nearshoring (or nearsourcing, "nearshore outsourcing") is a concept for the form of outsourcing in which business processes are relocated to locations which are, generally, cheaper and yet geographically nearer. The term was created and copyrighted by http://www.softtek.com/nearshore/ Softtek, a Mexican IT company which provides nearshore outsourcing to the US and the European Union.

Offshoring to neighbor countries, like e.g. Eastern Europe from Germany and Mexico from the U.S.
