By the distance between the provider and the client, IT outsourcing can be classified in the following types.
Offshoring
The tech team and the client are in different distant locations. This relation can benefit from handling different timezones and different living costs. Usually the timezone difference is greater than five hours.
In example, outsourcing between Frankfurt and Peru would be offshoring given that the time zone differente is of seven hours and Germany and Peru are geographically distant from each other. However, this distance allows that the cost of the service is lower in Peru and is more competitive than having a team located in Germany.
Nearshoring
The team is near to the client, with the posibility of making visits and onsite meetings. They have a similar timezone. Usually the timezone difference is near to two hours.

Onshoring
