Onshore vs Offshore for IT Support
Most businesses use a hybrid — offshore for Level 1/2 helpdesk and routine administration, onshore for complex and security-sensitive work.
🇦🇺 Keep onshore
Security-sensitive infrastructure, regulated data, government clients, complex architecture and anything requiring physical presence or Australian-jurisdiction data handling.
🌏 Move offshore
Level 1/2 helpdesk, end-user support, cloud administration, routine monitoring, patch management and 24/7 coverage. Philippines and India deliver 50–70% savings on these functions.
🔗 Hybrid model
Australian provider manages complex/sensitive work and vendor relationships; offshore team handles volume helpdesk and routine administration. This split is common and cost-effective.
