Cloudshoring is the term to correlate enterprises' Reshoring or Rightshoring strategy with the underlying trend to migrate to the Cloud.

Enterprises are rapidly transforming themselves, migrating to the Cloud, and consequently re-evaluating their Sourcing options. This new trend forcing enterprises to revisit their Sourcing/ Offshoring strategies is also being referred to as “Reshoring”. "Rightshoring" is another term coined to suggest the right mix of Offshore, Onshore and Nearshore strategies.

Offshoring in IT Services is a trend that started in the nineties, and accelerated in the last 10-15 years. Cloud Computing is a trend that is increasingly gaining traction. Cloudshoring is the natural confluence of these two trends. Talking about one in the absence of the other does not depict the complete picture, and therefore, deserves a place in IT lexicon.

Bizofit is one of the first companies to have talked about this concept in their blog.
