Outsource Locally

The oxymoron is still one of the more interesting twists of language. It takes one word (or phrase, if we must be so technical) and defiantly places it next to a contradictory word (or phrase), then forces the whole thing to have an actual meaning!

When we think about outsourcing, images of sweatshops in Bangladesh, Mumbai, or Singapore come swiftly to mind. Almost automatically, we expect outsourcing to mean “sending the job abroad”. Well, it doesn’t always imply going abroad. In fact, millions of jobs and duties are outsourced to a location just across the street on a daily basis in America!

The administrative assistant’s job has become one significantly given to the model of outsourcing. And, yes, sadly, much of this goes to India (or Singapore). Obviously, the reduced cost of labor is the primary factor driving jobs abroad. But what if a local firm here in the US found a way to match or beat that reduced cost while simultaneously improving quality?

Well, it’s happening right under our noses in Texas. For much less than the cost of paying an employee mini-mum wage, you can indeed outsource your administrative jobs and duties to a local firm right here in League City, Texas.

You can indeed outsource locally and save thousands of dollars a year on payroll costs. Interesting oxymoron, huh?
