By John Williams, MetroWest Daily NewsComputer technology has long been the driver of the U.S. economy. It permeates everything we do and use from the cars we drive to the appliances we use, to the smart home technology beginning to appear in newer homes to manage our utilities. Careers in technology have also been a great source of employment for our citizens, especially in the information technology (IT) field which has been the foundation of business growth for decades. Enter “onshoring”: an emerging alternative with tremendous appeal. It has several names, including onshoring, rural sourcing, home sourcing and insourcing. The concept is to bring work back to locations in the continental United States and take advantage of the highly efficient, effective and innovative U.S. workforce to perform IT functions that have been offshored over the past decade. This idea, and now trend, is being fueled by all of the shortcomings listed above.
