Is there a catchy term for repatriating work once offshored?

Question

I think the term repatriation is specific for people. "Unshore, deshore, disremote." Every term I think up sounds like a nails scratching down a chalk board.

• "Inshoring" blech....
• "Resourcing"

• "Desourcing"

  - "Onshoring?"

Answer 1

Well, if sending work elsewhere is "offshoring", then I guess the converse would be "onshoring".

"Outsourcing" vs. "insourcing"? Sounds dangerously like Microspeak to me...

Answer 2

reassimilate

Answer 3

Onshoring?

Answer 4

"Repatriation" sounds good to me.

Answer 5

Its called a Do Over.

Answer 6

Insourcing is commonly used... similar but not quite is "Near Shoring" used for off shoring to an SE Asian company from Australia.

How about ...

Restoring (my fav)
Reshoring
Re instate
In-state
Revive

Or even "Re-inovate" as in:

"Oh no, offshoring was a total frak up, we are now re-inovating our work force. We'll capitalise on the GFC and increase our solutionage."

Answer 7

I like Fubar

Answer 8

Ur Doin' It Wrong

Answer 9

A paycut for all concerned.

Answer 10

I believe the term is "Rewrite."

Answer 11

Shaming ? :P

Answer 12

The right term would be "came to our senses".

Answer 13

Retry

Face it, offshored projects only finish three ways:

• Retry
• Abort
• Ignore
