Explore the Advantages IT Departments Gain From the Reshoring Trend
There is a growing trend of companies opening U.S.-based facilities to perform the work once done in foreign countries. The term used to describe a company moving services from a foreign country to the United States is “reshoring”; or “insourcing” if they never had a U.S facility before. IT departments of U.S. companies are actively watching this trend. 
Before we can explore the advantages to the U.S IT market from this trend, let’s first look at why the companies that were once offshore are now moving their services to the U.S.
According to the Insights Report from Cassidy Turley there are several reasons for the trend of foreign companies opening U.S.-based facilities
- Limited visas..

- Proximity to prospective new clients…
- Higher worker productivity…
- Political considerations…
- Labor unions…
When looking at the reason an IT department of a U.S. company would embrace this trend, three of the reasons from above are common advantages to both the provider and the customer. Continue reading
When is Time More Important Than Money? – During Data Recovery
We have all heard the phrase “time is money”. But, when is time more important than money? The answer is during recovery of your data after some catastrophic event.
IBM Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) has been reducing recovery time, without compromising backup time, from its inception; and continues through its most recent product releases.
In comparison, traditional backup methodologies attempt to conserve backup time by using periodic full backups combined with more frequent incremental or differential backups. This approach makes restores more complex and time consuming as users must first restore the most recent full backup, then restore subsequent incremental backups to recover to the current point in time. TSM’s progressive incremental backup technology makes one initial full backup, but all subsequent backups are incremental. When combined with TSM’s advanced data management techniques, this enables fast full restores without the complexity of managing multiple backup sets. Users get the speed and recoverability benefits of a daily full backup in addition to the reduced network traffic and data storage requirements of incremental backups.
